Case: Discrimination/Discharge (N.D. Ill.)

Cook County, Illinois is granted summary judgment on the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act religious discrimination claim of a Muslim pharmacist who was allegedly fired for lying on his job application about resigning from his previous job when he was actually discharged, where he didn’t proffer a similarly situated comparator, and language in an email between county officials didn’t prove that his religion influenced his firing, a federal district court ruled.
