Civil Rights: Ninth Circuit Amends But Denies Rehearing In C.W. v. Capistrano Unified School District Case

 

No Material Modifications in Amended Opinion.

     On March 6, 2015, we posted on C.W. v. Capistrano Unified School District, No. 12-57315 (9th Cir. Mar. 2, 2015) (published), which dealt with an attorney’s fees award in favor of school district and against plaintiff under various civil rights-oriented schemes, namely, IDEA, ADA, Rehabilitation Act, and § 1983. Plaintiff did well to appeal in connection with the fee recovery, although there was a partial concurrence/partial dissent. We can now report that, on April 9, 2015, the Ninth Circuit issued an amended opinion (with no material changes) and denied a rehearing request.
