1Opinion of the Court
BYE, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff Michael Sherman, who is deaf and mute, appeals from the district court’s 1 judgment in favor of defendant Marvin Runyon, the Postmaster General, on plaintiff Sherman’s Rehabilitation Act claims. After a bench trial, the district court found that Sherman had failed to show that the United States Postal Service (USPS) had fired him because of his disability or in retaliation for his prior discrimination claims. Instead, the court accepted the" USPS’ stated reason, Sherman’s display of violence in the workplace. We affirm the decision of the district court.
