Judge John Tinder, formerly of the U.S. District Court Southern District of Indiana, now on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, released his first authored opinion today with the federal appellate court. Judge Tinder joined the 7th Circuit in January.

Judge Tinder wrote the 22-page opinion in Jeanette Petts v. Rockledge Furniture LLC, a division of Ashley Furniture Industries Inc., No. 07-1989, in which he and Judges Kenneth Ripple and Diane Sykes affirmed the decision of the U.S. District Court, Western District of Wisconsin to grant Rockledge’s motion for summary judgment. Jeanette Petts alleged she was fired from Rockledge because of her sex; the District Court concluded she provided insufficient evidence of sex discrimination to justify a trial.
