United States Seventh Circuit

In plaintiff's suit against her former county employer for her termination two weeks before she was scheduled to begin two months of leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), claiming the employer interfered with her right to reinstatement under the Act and retaliated against her for taking FMLA leave, summary judgment in favor of defendants is reversed as plaintiff has put forth enough evidence for this case to reach a trier of fact, including comments suggesting her supervisor's dissatisfaction with her use of FMLA leave, her positive performance reviews, and the timing of her termination.
