   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2627
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and
   Colloton, Circuit Judge]
   Civil case - Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For the court's earlier opinion
   in the matter, see Culpepper v. Schafer, 584 F.3d 1119 (8th Cir. 2008).
   Plaintiff's failure to apply for a promotion was not excused for futility;
   claim that defendant failed to promote plaintiff through the accretion-of-
   duties process failed because plaintiff never applied for an accretion-of-
   duties promotion; there was no evidence defendant reclassified positions
   with a discriminatory or retaliatory intent; district court did not err in
   refusing to consider plaintiff's claims from the year 2009 as they were not
   reasonably related to the allegations of her complaint or amended
   complaint; district court's determination that plaintiff's allegations
   considered cumulatively did not amount to discrimination or retaliation
   affirmed.
