United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided February 21, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William G. Sullivan (argued), Martin, Brown & Sullivan, Chicago, IL, David M. Mattenson (argued), Kanter, Mattenson, Morgan & Gordon, Chicago, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

James S. Whitehead (argued), Sidley Austin Brown & Wood, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before BAUER, POSNER, and WOOD, Circuit Judges.


POSNER, Circuit Judge.

Mattenson, a patent lawyer, brought suit against his former employer, Baxter Healthcare, under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The jury found in Mattenson's favor and awarded him more than half a million dollars in back pay, which the judge then doubled, in accordance with the statute, because the jury had found that the violation of the ADEA was willful. But he refused to award front pay, precipitating Mattenson's cross-appeal.
