Seventh Circuit: Roberta Jaburek v. Anthony Foxx

FRCP, Title VII

No error in the denial of motion to reconsider grant of extension of time to file, as opposing counsel had gout.

Summary judgment against plaintiff on lack of promotion upheld, as plaintiff merely claimed that she was doing the work equivalent of the higher position, and never actually applied for the position.  Comparators antedated her employment.

Insufficient definition of core tasks.

No retaliation absent proof of cognizable assertion prior to adverse action.
