ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
EASTERN DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE
Before: COOK and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges, and MARBLEY, District Judge.*
COOK, Circuit Judge. Plaintiff Tracy McDonald appeals the district court’s grant of
summary judgment for her employer, defendant John Potter, Postmaster General of the United States
Postal Service (the “Postal Service”) on her Rehabilitation Act claims. McDonald alleges that the
Postal Service failed to reasonably accommodate her two alleged disabilities: (1) migraines induced
by a sensitivity to fragrances (i.e. fragrances worn by her coworkers, cleaning chemicals); and (2)
a back condition. She further alleges that the Postal Service discriminated and retaliated against her
due to these disabilities. The Postal Service filed a motion for summary judgment, and the district

court granted the motion and dismissed with prejudice all of McDonald’s claims. Review of the
briefs and record counsels us to agree with the district court. Because a separate opinion would only
duplicate the district court’s thorough analysis, we AFFIRM the court’s judgment, adopting its
reasoning.
