May 31, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 184 MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order Signed by the Honorable Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on 5/31/2016: For the foregoing reasons, Defendant's motion to reduce compensatory damages 144 is granted, and Plaintiff's motion for equitable relief 148 is gra nted in part and denied in part. The court reduces the Washington's compensatory damages award to $200,000. Plaintiff is entitled to back pay, prejudgment interest, front pay, a tax-component award, and compensation for medical expenses, all of which is yet to be determined based on additional information from the parties. Washington's requests for compensation related to pension withdrawals and personal loans are denied. Plaintiff is required to submit the following within 2 1 days: (1) her 2013-2015 tax returns, (2) her expected income for 2016, and (3) the amount she owes to Northwestern hospital for the treatment she received from the last day of her COBRA coverage through October 2013. OSAD, meanwhile, is required t o file documentation regarding employee health insurance costs from 2008 to present within 21 days of this order. The parties are also welcome to show cause within 21 days of this order as to why the court's assumptions and calculations misre present what Washington would have earned from 2008 to 2015. Finally: As is apparent from this opinion, the decision to terminate Alice Washington in February 2008 has turned out to be extraordinarily costly, and the final tally is not yet determin ed. Not only is the record on her claim for equitable relief still incomplete, but the court has yet to adjudicate Plaintiff's fee petition. Ms. Washington would be well served in putting this dispute behind her, and the taxpayers of Illinois can ill afford the cost of additional litigation. The parties are again urged to discuss settlement. Mailed notice. (mgh, )
March 23, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 96 MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order: Defendant's motion for summary judgment 68 is granted in part and denied in part. The court grants summary judgment in favor of Defendant on Plaintiff's ADA claim. Plaintiff's claim that Defendant dis criminated against her on the basis of race in her salary reduction and termination survives this motion, as does her claim that Defendant retaliated against her for her protected activity. A status conference is set for April 1, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Signed by the Honorable Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on 3/23/2015.Mailed notice (am)
