7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Rosemary Madlock v. WEC Energy Group, Inc.

Case No.: 17-1278

Officials: MANION, KANNE, AND ROVNER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Employment Discrimination

Rosemary Madlock has worked for Wisconsin Electric Power Company (“WEPCO”) for approximately forty years. In 2016, she brought this § 1981 suit against WEPCO after she was transferred from one section of WEPCO’s billing division to another, a move she claims was the result of racial discrimination. She also claims WEPCO retaliated against her by disciplining her after she filed an internal discrimination complaint against her former supervisor.

The district court granted summary judgment to WEPCO, and Madlock now appeals. Because there is no genuine dispute about any material fact and WEPCO is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, we affirm the judgment of the district court
