7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Kimberly A. Moreland v. Kirstjen M. Nielsen

Case No.: 17-3113

Officials: KANNE, SCUDDER, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Title VII Violation

Kimberly Moreland appeals the entry of summary judgment in her suit under Title VII against the Department of Homeland Security. The Department did not pay for her time and expenses when she testified at a hearing on an earlier discrimination charge, but it did reimburse two employees who testified for the Department. Moreland contends that the Department’s decision not to pay her was retaliatory.

We affirm the district court’s judgment because Moreland failed to provide evidence that she suffered an adverse action, and in any case she did not rebut the Department’s legitimate reason for not reimbursing her.
