Before MURPHY, ARNOLD, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Barbara Kehr appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in her disability-discrimination action. After careful de novo review, see Murphy v.
Mo. Dep’t of Corr., 372 F.3d 979, 982 (8th Cir. 2004), this court affirms. Kehr was
not a qualified individual because she admitted she could not perform the essential
functions of her job, see Wisbey v. City of Lincoln, Neb., 612 F.3d 667, 672-73 (8th

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
Cir. 2010). Kehr’s pretext argument fails because she failed to present a prima facie
case of discrimination.

      This court affirms. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
