Louis Kampouris v. The St. Louis Symphony Society

210 F.3d 845, 10 Am. Disabilities Cas. (BNA) 803, 2000 U.S. App. LEXIS 8460, 2000 WL 502533

Opinions

PER CURIAM.

Louis Kampouris appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Kampouris’s employer, The St. Louis Symphony Society, in his employment-related action asserting disability and age discrimination claims. In granting the symphony orchestra summary judgment, the district court concluded Kampouris failed to establish the symphony orchestra perceived him to be disabled, failed to establish he was capable of performing the job without accommodation, and failed to show the adverse action was discriminatory. The district court also concluded the symphony orchestra’s decision was based on a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason and was not age-based. Having considered the record, the parties’ submissions, and the district court’s thorough order, we believe the district court’s judgment was correct. Because the parties’ submissions show they are thoroughly familiar with the issues before the court and the controlling law that informs our review, we also believe an extended discussion would serve no useful precedential purpose in a fact-intensive case that is unique to these parties. We thus affirm on the basis of the district court’s ruling without a comprehensive opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
