Matthews v. Potter
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

ORDER
Roberta Matthews claims that her former employer, the United States Postal Service, engaged in persistent acts of discrimination and retaliation that ended with her termination. She seeks both damages and injunctive relief, including reinstatement. The district court concluded, however, that judicial estoppel precluded Matthews’s suit because she failed to disclose the underlying administrative complaints on questionnaires she submitted with two bankruptcy petitions that were filed while those complaints were pending. The court thus granted summary judgment for the Postal Service.
