    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

    United States Court of Appeals


    Tenth Circuit

    FEB 22 2001

    PATRICK FISHER
    Clerk

    ROWANA K. RIGGS,
    Plaintiff-Appellant,
    v.
    THE BOEING COMPANY,

    No. 00-3178
    (D.C. No. 99-CV-2090-CM)
    (D. Kan.)

    Defendant-Appellee.
    ORDER AND JUDGMENT

    Before EBEL, KELLY, and LUCERO , Circuit Judges.

    After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
    unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of
    this appeal.

    See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is

    therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.


    Plaintiff Rowana K. Riggs, appearing pro se, appeals the district courts
    grant of summary judgment to defendant, the Boeing Company, on her claim
    This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
    doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court
    generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order
    and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

    alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C.


    12101-12213. The parties are familiar with the facts and the procedural
    history of this case, and we will not repeat them here. On appeal, Ms. Riggs
    claims the district court erred in finding that her mild carpal tunnel syndrome did
    not rise to the level of a disability under the ADA and in failing to consider all
    of her claims and evidence.
    We review the grant of summary judgment
    standard as the district court.

    de novo , applying the same

    Simms v. Oklahoma ex rel. Dep't of Mental Health

    & Substance Abuse Servs. , 165 F.3d 1321, 1326 (10th Cir. ),

    cert. denied , 528

    U.S. 815 (1999). Summary judgment is appropriate if the pleadings, depositions,


    answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if
    any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the
    moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c).
    As required, we view the evidence and draw reasonable inferences therefrom in
    the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.

    Simms , 165 F.3d at 1326.

    Having carefully reviewed the record in that light, we find no error, and we affirm
    for substantially the reasons given by the district court in its Memorandum and
    Order dated May 19, 2000.
