United States Eighth Circuit
Mumid v. Abraham Lincoln H.S., 08-3041
In an action against the Institute for New Americans and Special School District No. 1 of the Minneapolis Public Schools, alleging violations of the Equal Educational Opportunities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Minnesota Human Rights Act, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) the students failed to present sufficient evidence to show that defendants' rationale for denying plaintiffs special education services was a pretext for discrimination based on national origin; and 2) because the district could not bind the school, a court order directed at the district could not redress the alleged injuries of the students.
