JOSE ANTONIO GUZMAN,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
FEDERAL EXPRESS CORP.,
Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Texas
(USDC No. 3-99-CV-659-R)

Before REAVLEY, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jose Antonio Guzman appeals from summary judgment against him on his claims
under the Americans with Disabilities Act. We agree with the district court. Guzman’s
discrimination claim must fail because he offers no evidence that he had a disability or

was regarded as having a disability at the time he was fired. See Murphy v. United Parcel
Serv., Inc., 527 U.S. 516, 523-25 (1999). Rather, he was merely unable to drive and was
regarded as only being unable to drive. Guzman’s retaliation claim must also fail because
he cannot show a causal link between his suit and his termination. See Sherrod v.
American Airlines, Inc., 132 F.3d 1112, 1122 (5th Cir. 1998) (requiring but-for
causation).
AFFIRMED.
