ARGUED OCTOBER 27, 2010

Before EASTERBROOK, Chief Judge, and KANNE and WOOD, Circuit Judges.

Raymond Moore sued Vital Products, Incorporated (“Vital”) in federal district court. He alleged racial and sexual discrimination, a hostile work environment, and retaliation, all in violation of Title VII, and retaliatory discharge in violation of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act (“IWCA”). Vital moved for summary judgment on all counts, which the district court granted. Vital also moved for sanctions, which the district court denied. Moore appeals the grant of summary judgment on all counts, and Vital cross-appeals the denial of sanctions. Vital also requests sanctions for a frivolous appeal. We affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment as to Moore’s Title VII claims, but reverse as to his IWCA retaliation claim. We also affirm the district court’s denial of sanctions and reject Vital’s latest motion for sanctions.
