1Opinion of the Court
COFFEY, Circuit Judge.
J. William Hayden (“Hayden”), 61 years of age, was an independent sales representative for La-Z-Boy Chair Company (“La-Z-Boy”) for twenty-two years. In December 1990 La-Z-Boy decided not to renew Hayden’s contract and replaced him with a 44-year-old independent sales representative. Hayden filed suit, alleging that La-Z-Boy’s decision not to renew his contract violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq. The district court granted summary judgment for La-Z-Boy on the grounds that Hayden was not covered by the ADEA.
We affirm.
