Illinois Dept. of Corrections 263 F.3d 698 (7th Cir. 2001). A state corrections employee brought a [ss] 1983 action against her supervisor and her employer, alleging retaliation, and race and sex discrimination. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the employer and supervisor, and the employee appealed.

The court held that the transfer was not retaliatory because it was done to relieve tension between the employee and her supervisor, which had resulted from a breakdown of their friendship. The court also found that the supervisor's conduct- sending an email to her boss characterizing the employee's conduct as bizarre, telling the employee that she had to go, telling the employee that she would have to move to an unfinished reception area to work, asking the employee to return her key to the supervisor's office, and telling the employee that she could not forgive her for filing a lawsuit--did not rise to the level of "adverse employment actions" for the purpose of a retaliation claim under Title VII.
