WILLIAMS, Circuit Judge,
concurring:
I agree with the majority’s reasoning and holding that Linda Williams is not disabled within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and that the district court properly rejected Williams’s state law claims. See Majority Op. at 348-350, 350. Having reached those conclusions, I would not reach the issue of reasonable accommodation as discussed in the majority’s opinion in dicta on pages 349-350. See Karsten v. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, 36 F.3d 8, 11-12 (4th Cir.1994) (per curiam) (stating that alternative holdings should be avoided).
