Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit September 6, 2000, 99-3504 (Stephanie A. Massey v. Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Illinois)

DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge.

Stephanie Massey was fired by Blue Cross-Blue Shield. Believing that this was the result of racial discrimination in violation of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e

et seq.,

and 42 U.S.C. § 1981, she brought this suit in federal court. A jury agreed with her, but the district court judge granted Blue Cross’s post-verdict motion for judgment as a matter of law.
