7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Paula Y. Williams v. Office of the Chief Judge of Cook County, Illinois, et al
Case No.: 15-2325; 15-2554
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and BAUER and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges
Focus: Title VII – Unlawful Termination
Paula Williams was told she was fired from her position as a probation officer for abandoning her job. She brought this lawsuit alleging that she was actually fired for contesting a workers’ compensation claim, reporting another employee’s misconduct, being African‐American, and reporting co‐workers for racial hostility. Because Williams has failed to establish a material factual dispute as to any of her claims, we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the defendants.
