See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Defen-
dants' motion for summary judgment on her complaint filed pursuant
to the ADA,1 Title VII,2 and state law. We have reviewed the record
and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.
Since we find that the district court properly granted summary
judgment as to Appellant's ADA and Title VII claims on traditional
summary judgment principles, we decline to address whether Appel-
lant was judicially estopped from asserting she was a qualified
individual under the ADA. In all other respects, we affirm on the
reasoning of the district court. Hindman v. Greenville Hosp. Sys.,
947 F. Supp. 215 (D.S.C. 1996). We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the deci-
sional process.
