BENTON, Circuit Judge.
Missouri-American Water Company placed Bennie R. Wenzel, Jr., on medical leave. He sued, claiming disability discrimination and retaliation in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Missouri Human Rights Act. See 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq; Mo.Rev.Stat. § 213.010, et seq. The district court 1 granted summary judgment to Missouri-American, concluding Wenzel did not show he was “regarded as” having a disability, or was retaliated against. Jurisdiction being proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
