United States Ninth Circuit

In a dispute arising from several sexual encounters between two developmentally disabled high-school students in a school bathroom, judgment of the district court dismissing action against special-ed teacher is affirmed where plaintiff-parent does not have a cognizable Fourteenth Amendment due process claim against defendant because neither the special relationship exception nor the state-created danger exception applies.
