For this research assignment, use the Sour v. Jabba Fact Pattern.

I think we have a good chance at winning partial summary judgment on the issue of retaliation. I am drafting the memorandum of law and need a Seventh Circuit case that says an adverse employment action does not include an employer's refusal to grant an employee a discretionary benefit to which she is not automatically entitled. Please find me a case and provide the citation. Then find an October 2018 opinion by Judge Kennelly in the Northern District of Illinois on this same issue. Who represented the Defendant in that case?
