Patricia Peele v. Country Mutual Insurance Co.

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided April 30, 2002No. 01-3222PublishedCited by 243 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

MANION, Circuit Judge.

Patricia Peele sued her former employer, Country Mutual Insurance Company, alleging that the company violated Title VII and the ADEA by discriminating against her on the basis of sex and age. Country Mutual moved for summary judgment, and the district court granted the company’s motion. In doing so, the district court assumed Peele established prima facie cases of sex and age discrimination, but concluded she had not demonstrated that the company’s proffered reason for her termination, i.e., poor job performance, was pretextual. Peele appeals the decision, and we affirm.
