Outcome
The Seventh Circuit reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment for the employer on discrimination and retaliation claims, finding genuine issues of material fact regarding whether the employer's stated reason for termination (poor performance) was pretextual and whether supervisors' racial animus was imputed to the decision-makers through a cat's paw theory.
