United States Seventh Circuit

In a discrimination suit brought by a terminated employee, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff did not produce evidence that she was entitled to Family and Medical Leave Act protection for the absences that led to her termination; 2) plaintiff could not establish a prima facie case alleging Title VII sex discrimination because she could not identify any similarly situated male employee who was treated any differently than she was; and 3) plaintiff produced no evidence to support federal and state retaliation claims.
