OPINION
HUSPENI, Judge.
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights, relator, brought a complaint alleging that Hennepin County, respondent, had discriminated against Allen Tervo on the basis of disability. Tervo was eliminated as a suitable candidate for the position of Detention Deputy because Tervo’s vision was too poor. The administrative law judge (AU) dismissed the complaint on the basis of relator’s failure to establish a pri-ma facie case of disability based on discrimination. On appeal, relator challenges the AU’s award of summary judgment to respondent. We affirm.
