OPINION OF THE COURT
NYGAARD, Circuit Judge,
Appellant, Sandra Walton, was fired by the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania (“MHASP”) and sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. (1994), claiming harassment, disparate treatment, and failure to accommodate. The District Court granted summary judgment for MHASP on these claims and denied Walton’s motion to amend the complaint to add a discrimination claim based on her obesity as a perceived disability. Walton now challenges these decisions. We will affirm.
