Dismissal and Summary Judgment for School District in Civil Rights/Intentional Tort Lawsuit
August 24, 2012Plaintiff, a teacher
filed a lawsuit against a school district and several of its administrators,
alleging claims for violation of civil rights, retaliation, harassment, and false
imprisonment, among other claims. We
filed a motion to dismiss all of plaintiff’s claims. The Court granted the motion as to all of the
federal claims with prejudice, and thereafter dismissed the state law claims
for lack of jurisdiction. The plaintiff
re-filed the state law claims in state court, where we successfully obtained
summary judgment.
