United States Ninth Circuit
M.M. v. Lafyette Sch. Dist., 10-16903
In a dispute that began over the results of a minor student's special education evaluation under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. section 1400 et seq. (IDEA), but now has a convoluted procedural history, including three separate district court lawsuits and two administrative complaints, two district court rulings are affirmed where: 1) parents prematurely filed student's complaint against the school in the district court; and 2) the California Department of Education has no authority to supervise the independent hearing officers.
