7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Daniel Houlihan, et al. v. City of Chicago, et al.
Case No.: 16-2949
Officials: EASTERBROOK, KANNE, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Jury Instructions and Improper Summary Judgment
On appeal, the plaintiffs raise three issues. First, they argue that the district court misadjudicated their patronage claims. Second, they contend that the court committed reversible error in the equal protection trial when excluding evidence of past racial discrimination and when instructing the jury. And third, they claim that summary judgment as to Nolan, Olson, and Roman was improper. We address each issue in turn.
