PER CURIAM: Philip J. Stoddard sued the Florida Board of Bar Examiners (FBBE), the Honorable R. Fred Lewis, and several members of the FBBE, in their personal and official capacities. Stoddard s complaint alleges claims arising under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 42 U.S.C. § 12321 (the ADA), and Article 1 Section 10 of the United States Constitution. The gravamen of Stoddard s lawsuit is that Defendants violated his rights by refusing to grant him admission to the Florida Bar. The district court dismissed each of the claims against each of the Defendants. After a thorough review of the record and the parties briefs on appeal, we find no reversible error. AFFIRMED. 2
