                             USDC No. 3:09-CV-1006

Before REAVLEY, JOLLY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        The judgment of the district court is affirmed for the following reasons.
        This federal cause of action seeks damages authorized by Titles I and II
of the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12102. Plaintiff’s problem

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

sleeping and thinking is not that disabling. Nor has she shown that she is
qualified to perform her employment or that she suffered an adverse
employment action, even assuming her assistantship qualifies as that
employment. She fails to present material evidence of denial of accommodation,
or any evidence of discrimination or intent to inflict emotional distress.
      AFFIRMED.
