Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided May 18, 2004No. 03-2569PublishedCited by 108 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

KANNE, Circuit Judge.

Henry L. Davis lost his job with Con-Way Central Express on December 11, 2000. Con-Way asserts it “economically terminated” Davis and eliminated his position because of a downturn in the trucking industry. Davis alleges it was because of his race, African American, and in retaliation for filing two charges of discrimination against the company. The district court granted Con-Way’s summary-judgment motion on Davis’s race discrimination and retaliation claims. We affirm the judgment of the district court.
