Santelli v. Electro-Motive

United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois

136 F.Supp.2d 922 (2001)

Relevant factsFree

Mary Santelli (plaintiff) sued her former employer Electro-Motive (defendant) for sex discrimination and retaliatory discharge after being terminated following complaints of sexual discrimination; the court granted Electro-Motive summary judgment in part but denied it in part. Electro-Motive moved for reconsideration of the partial denial, arguing the court had ignored out-of-circuit case law, applied the wrong legal standard for comparing treatment of male and female employees, misapplied the pretext framework, wrongly found a triable issue on whether an assignment removal was discriminatory, and misdescribed a relevant incident.

IssueFree

Whether motions to reconsider are appropriate only for manifest errors, significant changes in the law or facts, or similarly rare circumstances.
