Opinion
Lead Opinion
*507 MEMORANDUM **
Christopher Talbott appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment for Honeywell International, Inc. (“Honeywell”) in his employment discrimination action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review summary judgment de novo, Snead v. Metro. Prop. & Cas. Ins. Co., 287 F.3d 1080 , 1087 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Talbott’s claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act because Talbott failed to rebut Honeywell’s evidence that he was terminated because of a reduction in force. See id. at 1093-94 .
The district court also properly granted summary judgment on Talbott’s state law claims alleging negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent misrepresentation. See Keck v. Jackson, 122 Ariz. 114 , 593 P.2d 668, 669-70 (1979) (negligent infliction of emotional distress); Johnson v. McDonald, 197 Ariz. 155 , 3 P.3d 1075, 1080 (Ct.App.1999) (intentional infliction of emotional distress); Taeger v. Catholic Family & Cmty. Servs., 196 Ariz. 285 , 995 P.2d 721, 730 (Ct.App. 1999) (negligent misrepresentation).
