Gary McKnight Cross-Appellant v. General Motors Corporation, Cross-Appellee
green
2 sentences2006In McKnight v. General Motors Corp., 908 F.2d 104, 113 (7th Cir. 1990), the court -11- Nos. 2--05--1073 & 2--06--0036 cons. held that the jury's factual findings on the plaintiff's section 1981 claim bound the trial court to follow those findings on the plaintiff's Title VII claim. 2006This holding, however, was premised on the fact that "the rule that makes the jury's verdict on a section 1981 claim dispositive of any common factual issues presented by the plaintiff's Title VII claim is well established in this circuit." McKnight, 908 F.2d at 113 . | 1 | 2006–2006 |
