Before BOWMAN, FLOYD R. GIBSON, and MORRIS, SHEPPARD, ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.

Myron Koerner, the plaintiff below, appeals the order of the District Court1 granting the motion of the defendant, the Postmaster General, for summary judgment in this action brought under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. §§ 701-797b (1994).

AFFIRMED. See 8th Cir.  Rule 47B.
