Description
Argued February 24, 1999 Frank Sanders sued the Village of Dixmoor, Illinois under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, alleging racial discrimination due to discriminatory treatment and hostile environment. The district court granted Dixmoor summary judgment, concluding that Sanders failed to present sufficient evidence of a severe and pervasive hostile environment. The court did not address the discriminatory treatment issue, nor did the plaintiff move post-trial for the court to address that issue. Sanders appeals. We affirm. Frank Sanders is a black male. He worked approximately four days per month for the Village of Dixmoor as a part-time police officer from 1991 until April of 1997. In 1997 the Village elected a new mayor. The Village Council replaced police chief Nicholas Graves with Joseph Falica. Sanders, who supported his good friend Graves, was not pleased with Graves' termination. When Graves and Falica met at the station to discuss the transition, Sanders was also present. He interrupted the Discussion several times, demanding to know from Falica the new scheduling arrangements and what Sanders' particular role would be. Falica responded a couple of times, saying that the time was not appropriate to discuss the matter with Sanders. When Sanders persisted, a heated exchange followed, culminating with Falica exclaiming, ""N****r, you're suspended."" Falica then ordered Sanders out of the police station, but Sanders responded that he wasn't going anywhere. Falica reiterated, ""[y]ou're suspended for 90 days."" Sanders left and never returned. After exhausting his administrative remedies, he filed suit against the Village of Dixmoor under Title VII, alleging that ""[t]he Chief of Police did not have any basis, other than plaintiff's race, to order plaintiff's suspension.""
