Lane v. Riverview Hospital
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the CourtHamilton, Circuit Judge
Plaintiff Chris Lane sued Riverview Hospital, his former employer, for race discrimination in terminating his employment as a security guard at the hospital. The district court granted summary judgment for the defendant. We affirm.

Lane is African American…
