United States Ninth Circuit

In an action under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the district court's judgment and injunction is: 1) affirmed in part where the district court did not err in affirming a hearings officer's determination that the student was entitled to an Independent Educational Evaluation at public expense; and 2) reversed in part where although the student’s parents' request for attorneys' fees was timely and they were prevailing parties, they were not eligible for an award of fees under 20 U.S.C. section 1415(i)(3)(B) because neither was a "parent of a child with a disability."
