*1 Before TJOFLAT, BIRCH and MARCUS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Samuel Weiss is an autistic child; he is thirteen years old. In September 1994, his parents brought this suit for money damages as an appeal of a final order of the State of Florida Division of Administrative Hearings rendered at the conclusion of an administrative hearing conducted pursuant to Section 1415 (c) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §§ 1400-1415. In their amended complaint, Samuel’s parents contend that the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, failed to provide Samuel with a “free appropriate public education,” as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and, in failing to provide such education, denied him rights established by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794. Samuel’s parents also contend that the School Board infringed two rights guaranteed Samuel by the Fourteenth Amendment: the right to the equal protection of the laws and the right of travel.

On cross motions for summary judgement, the district court, in the order appearing in the Appendix, entered summary judgment for the School Board. Samuel’s parents appeal, contending the district court should have granted their motion for summary judgment and denied the Board’s motion. After considering their arguments for reversal, we conclude that, in all respects, the district court properly applied the law to the material facts (which the parties agree are not in dispute).

AFFIRMED.
