ILANA DIAMOND ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
Jo Ann Leffel lost her job as a branch manager with Valley American Bank in 1993. She filed this suit contending that she was discharged in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., because she suffers from multiple sclerosis. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, finding that Leffel had not produced evidence that she was meeting her employer’s legitimate expectations or that her medical condition had influenced the decision to discharge her. We affirm.
