                                  ___________

Before WOLLMAN, Chief Judge, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                             ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Kandice Ball appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of an Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act suit she brought against the Arkansas Department of
Education and the Greene County Technical School District. Although Ball has not
filed a brief in this case, we have reviewed the record and conclude that Ball’s
complaint is without merit.

     The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a). We deny Ball’s pending
motions.

      1
       The Honorable Henry Woods, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
