See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Doris Jenkins appeals the district court’s grant of summary

judgment against her on a claim filed under Title I of the Ameri-

cans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 12101-12117 (West

1995).   Having reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-

ion, we conclude that the district court did not err in holding

that Jenkins was not disabled under the ADA.     The court properly

relied on our decisions in Williams v. Channel Master Satellite

Sys., Inc., 101 F.3d 346, 349 (4th Cir. 1996), and Halperin v.

Abacus Tech. Corp., 128 F.3d 191, 200 (4th Cir. 1997), to hold that

Jenkins’s lifting restriction is not a significant restriction on

her ability to perform a major life activity. Jenkins’s efforts to

distinguish those holdings are not convincing.

     Nor does the record support Jenkins’s claim that her employer

regarded her as having a disability under the ADA, 42 U.S.C.A.

§ 12101(2)(C).   See Sutton v. United Air Lines, Inc., 527 U.S. 471,

489 (1999). Therefore, we affirm the ruling of the district court.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.
