PER CURIAM.

       Mary L. Sanderson appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary
judgment based on Eleventh Amendment immunity in Sanderson's employment-based
action for claimed violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Having
considered the record and the parties' briefs, we are satisfied the district court properly
relied on our decisions in Alsbrook v. City of Maumelle, 
184 F.3d 999
, 1002, 1010 (8th
Cir. 1999) (en banc) (in applying Title II of ADA to States, Congress exceeded its
authority under ยง 5 of Fourteenth Amendment), cert. granted, 
120 S. Ct. 1003
, and
dismissed, 
120 S. Ct. 1265
(2000), and DeBose v. Nebraska, 
207 F.3d 1020
, 1021 (8th
Cir. 1999) (extending Alsbrook to Title I of ADA), petition for cert. filed, 
68 U.S.L.W. 3391
(U.S. Dec. 1, 1999) (No. 99-940). Additionally, the Supreme Court recently held
that Congress exceeded its enforcement authority under Section 5 of the Fourteenth
Amendment by purporting to abrogate the States' Eleventh Amendment immunity in
lawsuits brought under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. See Kimel v.
Florida Bd. of Regents, 
120 S. Ct. 631
, 651 (2000). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
