7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Donna Nicholson v. City of Peoria, Illinois, et al.
Case No.: 16-4162
Officials: POSNER, MANION, and KANNE, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Court Error – Sufficiency of Evidence
Peoria police officer Donna Nicholson appeals from a judgment against her in this discrimination and retaliation case. She also appeals the denial of her motion for reconsideration and motion to disqualify Judge Mihm. For the reasons stated below, we agree with the district court that Nicholson did not present sufficient evidence to survive summary judgment on either claim. Moreover, the district court did not err in denying Nicholson’s motion for reconsideration or the motion to disqualify Judge Mihm, which was frivolous. Therefore, we affirm the judgment below.
