1Opinion of the Court
TERNUS, Justice.
James Boelman brought this action against his former employer and its president claim- mg his employment had been terminated because of his multiple sclerosis (MS). He based his claims on Iowa’s civil rights statute, Iowa Code chapter 601A (1989), 1 and on section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. section 794. The case was tried to the district court as a law action. The court ruled against Boelman on both claims. We affirm because we conclude the district court correctly found that Boelman was not qualified for his job in spite of his disability.
