EASTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY
Before: GIBBONS and ROGERS, Circuit Judges; and HOLSCHUH, District Judge.*
ROGERS, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff Heather Suedkamp 1 appeals the district court’s grant
of summary judgment in favor of the Fayette County Board of Education on Suedkamp’s claim

Suedkamp made claims under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, see 29 U.S.C. § 794, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, see 42 U.S.C. § 12203(a), the First and Fourteenth
Amendments of the United States Constitution, and Kentucky Revised Statute § 344.280(1).

Sudekamp v. Fayette County School Board
2The references to “the defendant” in the first paragraph on page 10 of the district court’s
opinion and in the second sentence in the last paragraph on page 11 are understood to refer to the
defendant’s employee, Nancy Jackson, Assistant Director of Pupil Personnel.

After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, and hearing oral argument,
this court determines that no jurisprudential purpose would be served by a panel opinion and
affirms the district court’s decision for the reasons stated in Judge Coffman’s September 1, 2005,
opinion and order.2 The district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of the Board.
The judgment of the district court is therefore affirmed.
