PER CURIAM:

     In No. 00-1023, Joyce Davis appeals the district court’s order

granting summary judgment for Defendants in her suit under the

Americans with Disabilities Act.       In No. 00-1062, Defendants cross

appeal the denial of Eleventh Amendment immunity.        We previously

granted Davis’s motion to submit the case without oral argument.

Regarding the merits of Davis’s suit, we have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm Davis’s appeal on the reasoning of the dis-

trict court.   Davis v. Virginia Commonwealth Univ., No. CA-96-496

(E.D. Va. Dec. 14, 1999). Because this ruling disposes of the case,

we decline to address the Eleventh Amendment issue and, therefore,

dismiss Defendants’ appeal.

                                             No. 00-1023 - AFFIRMED

                                             No. 00-1062 - DISMISSED
