Hon. Ilana Diamond Rovner, Circuit Judge
Hon. Ann Claire Williams, Circuit Judge
No. 02-235 8
Appeal from the United States Kathy Durkin, District Court for the Northern
Plaintifl-Appellant, District of Illinois, Eastern Division. v. No. 00 C 4932 City of Chicago, Elaine E. Bucklo, Defendant-Appellee. Judge. 0 R D E R
The slip opinion issued in the above-entitled case on August 22, 2003 is hereby amended as follows:
Page 14, the entire paragraph under “Conclusion” is withdrawn and in its place is substituted with the following language.
Whatever Durkin was subjected to, she cannot prevail because she does not meet the requirements set forth in McDonnell Douglas. While we acknowledge that the plaintiff’ s allegations of outrageous behavior on the part of police trainers were uncontested only for purposes of summary judgment consideration and therefore remain unproven, nevertheless, the charges are sufficiently explicit to merit scrutiny by the City. And we trust that steps will be taken to assure that such behavior, if it did occur, will be brought to a halt.
