United States Seventh Circuit

Summary judgment for a retaliation claim under 42 U.S.C. section 1981 is reversed where plaintiff made a sufficient showing under the indirect method to establish a prima facie case of retaliation, but dismissal of a discrimination claim under Title VII is affirmed where plaintiff forfeited the claim by failing to present an adequate argument before the district court.
