1Opinion of the Court
JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:
Steven Holtzclaw appeals a summary judgment in his suit against DSC Communications Corporation (“DSC”) asserting claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. § 1140, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 623(d). Because Holtzclaw is not physically able to do the job that he sought, either with or without accommodation, he fails to establish a prima, fade case for any of his claims; accordingly, we affirm.
