Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Discovery
In instant Title VII action alleging that defendant terminated plaintiff-Caucasian police officer from his position on account of his race, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying plaintiff’s motion to compel defendant-employer to produce results of “climate survey” that plaintiff had alleged contained evidence of pattern of discriminatory conduct towards non-African-American police officers. Plaintiff’s request for said document was made after deadline for making such requests, and plaintiff failed to show how he was prejudiced by Dist. Ct.’s denial where defendant failed to avail himself of subsequent opportunity to take depositions to find out about specific relevance of said survey to his discrimination claim.
