Before MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and FAGG,
      Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Carl E. Brant appeals the district court's dismissal of Brant's disability-
discrimination suit against his former employer. We have reviewed the record and
agree Brant did not meet the statutory prerequisites for filing his lawsuit. See 42
U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) (charge of discrimination must be filed with Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days of unlawful employment practice);
Boersig v. Union Elec. Co., 

, 821 (8th Cir. 2000) (reasonable-
accommodation claim was barred because plaintiff filed EEOC charge after time
prescribed by § 2000e-5(e)), cert. denied, 

(2001). Accordingly, we
affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

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