MOHAMED AS NEXT FRIEND FOR v. IRVING INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (2019)

This appeal involves allegations of racial and religious discrimination in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI, allegations of arrest without probable cause in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and allegations of excessive force, also in violation of the Fourth Amendment based primarily upon the arrest and handcuffing of a fourteen-year-old student at MacArthur High School on charges of bringing a hoax bomb to school. In disposing of this case on a motion to dismiss based on qualified immunity, the district court wrote an exceptionally thorough opinion, consisting of some fifty-nine pages, covering every detail of the facts and law implicated in this case. After reviewing the briefs, pertinent portions of the record, and applicable law, we can find no error in the district court’s grant of qualified immunity dismissing the complaint against the appellees. Consequently, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. See 5th Cir. R. 47.6.
