This appeal arises from the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendant on plaintiff's claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213. Plaintiff claims that defendant violated the ADA because it did not hire him on account of his disability. The district court found that plaintiff did not establish a prima facie case under the ADA because he did not show that defendant failed to hire him because of his disability. See Butler v. City of Prairie Village, 172 F.3d 736, 748 (10th Cir. 1999) (setting forth elements of prima facie case under ADA). On de novo review, see Kaul v. Stephan, 83 F.3d 1208, 1212 (10th Cir. 1996), we agree that plaintiff's evidence does not establish that he applied for the position, nor does it show that the person who made the statement plaintiff cites as evidence that his disability was the reason he was not hired had any authority to hire for the position. We affirm the grant of summary judgment for substantially the reasons stated in the district court's order dated March 26, 1998. AFFIRMED.
