J. DeGiusti denies the former employee's motion for partial summary judgment in this lawsuit stemming from the termination of her employment. Specifically, the former employee contends that she is entitled to judgment on her retaliation claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act. However, she presents "evidence of two distinct retaliatory motivations for her termination," and her motion also fails to address "the issue of each defendant's liability."

J. Harjani partially grants Veterans Affairs’ motion for summary judgment on one of its former social worker’s claims that the VA didn’t honor her multiple disability accommodations. The court tosses several of the former social worker’s failure to accommodate, age and sex discrimination, retaliation and hostile work environment claims, but finds factual disputes preclude judgment on other, similar allegations.

J. Kirsch finds for a company in claims contending a marketer had been fired for reporting racial discrimination and interference with family medical leave because she failed to rebut nondiscriminatory reasons for termination provided by the employer. Meanwhile, claims contending the employee had been wrongfully removed from the list of nominees for the president's award should be dismissed as time-barred, and evidence does not support claims that supervisors acted with racial animus. Finally, the record does not indicate the employee's discrimination complaints had any connection to employees who investigated her for compliance violations.

J. Rodriguez denies the city's motion for a protective order restricting the former commander from questioning witnesses about certain documents during upcoming depositions and excluding those documents from the commander's employment discrimination lawsuit. The documents, which include emails from city employees relating to various internal investigations, were sent to the former commander anonymously. The city has not established that these documents were ever in the city's possession or that they were illegally intercepted. Nor has the city provided any declarations to support assertions of attorney-client privilege.

J. Cavanagh finds that coworkers of the husband of a corrections employee were allowed to continue discrimination claims after the wife filed retaliation claims against the state department of corrections.

J. Rothstein finds in favor of the construction company against the commercial dump truck driver's complaint that the construction company issued him workplace safety citations that were actually a pre-text to fire him for reporting discriminatory conduct. There is no evidence on record that the construction company's legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons to fire the dump truck driver were pre-textual, as he received multiple written warnings about his unsafe conduct.

J. Trauger grants the defendant company's summary judgment motion in this lawsuit brought by a former employee under Title VII and Section 1981, alleging discrimination and retaliation. As to retaliation, the court does not find that the employee engaged in protected activity. As to discrimination, she does not show that the company's "proffered reason for the termination decision was pretextual."

J. Conley denies the state military affairs department's motion for summary judgment in the federal government's lawsuit on behalf of an employee claiming the department discriminated against her by offering her a lower salary for a promotion than the male applicant it ultimately hired for the position. There is enough evidence in the record at this point for a reasonable jury to find that the employee's sex motivated the department to use pretexts to offer her a $78,000 salary, which was below the posted minimum of $79,040, then offer her the minimum and pay the male applicant it hired $85,000 for the same job when she turned it down. The employee's motion to file a sur-reply brief is granted.

J. Ripple finds that the lower court properly found for the employer on 40 black employees' race discrimination claims, and awarded damages to just one employee of seven who went to trial. Residents' repeated use of the N-word was "troubling" but was usually verbalized by patients suffering mental impairments and were not statements made by management or coworkers. These racist comments cannot be the basis to find employees were subjected to a hostile work environment or pervasive harassment. Affirmed.
Court: 7th Circuit, Judge: Ripple, Filed On: May 9, 2024, Case #: 22-2806, Categories: Agency, employment Discrimination
J. Richardson grants the sued transportation company’s motion for summary judgment but denies its request for attorney fees without prejudice in this lawsuit brought by two former employees. The suing truck drivers bring claims for race discrimination, retaliation and hostile work environment. However, the court finds that they have not provided “direct evidence of race discrimination.” Also, the evidence does not sufficiently show that one of them was terminated for discriminatory reasons or that the other should have “felt compelled to resign” due to the alleged name-calling.

J. Neeley finds the county court properly granted the dept's. plea to the jurisdiction. The female African American former employee filed suit after being denied employment for a position from which she had resigned. She was eventually rehired and filed civil rights charges with the Texas Workforce Commission, alleging she was retaliated against, and that the dept. did not comply with a settlement agreement. The court lacks subject matter jurisdiction because the negligence claim does not fall within the tort claims act's limited waiver of immunity, the state is immune from the claim for breach of the settlement agreement, no prima facie claim for retaliation was stated, and the state is not the employer pursuant to the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act. Affirmed.

J. Harris finds the lower court improperly granted summary judgment to the teacher. A longtime teacher of English and drama at a Catholic high school sued for sex discrimination under Title VII after the school fired him for his plans to marry his same-sex partner. The complaint falls squarely into the ministerial exception, a legal doctrine barring the application of anti-discrimination laws to religious institutions' employment relationships with its ministers. The teacher played a vital role as a messenger of the school's faith making him a minister for the point of the exception. Reversed.

J. Wyrick grants the government defendant’s motion for summary judgment in this lawsuit brought by a former air traffic controller trainee alleging discrimination on the basis of race under Title VII. The former trainee, who was dismissed from the training program along with another classmate “for failing to achieve a passing grade,” fails to establish a prima facie case of discrimination. She and the dismissed classmate sought reinstatement for “very different reasons,” meaning they were not similarly situated.

J. Chun denies the university president's motion to dismiss the retaliation claim in the school faculty member's complaint alleging that the university president wrongfully fired the faculty member for putting a statement in his class syllabus, emails and outside his faculty office door about the Coast Salish tribe's claim to land that read, "I acknowledge that by the labor theory of property the Coast Salish people can claim historical ownership of almost none of the land currently occupied by the University of Washington." The school faculty member plausible states a First Amendment retaliation claim, because the school faculty member's speech concerned a matter of public concern, and the court cannot employ the applicable Pickering balancing test at this stage.

J. Leinenweber denies the defendant behavioral therapy provider’s motion to dismiss ADA discrimination claims brought by an autistic former employee. The court finds the former employee has sufficiently alleged that she was demoted, and then pushed to quit, by the company’s unwillingness to accommodate her needs as a person with autism.
