Luo v. Owen J. Roberts School District
2:14-cv-06354 · 2016-10-27

District Judge O'Neill adopted three of Judge Wells's recommendations addressing dismissal motions across three consolidated self-represented special-education actions. Many claims were dismissed with prejudice; others were dismissed without prejudice with leave to file one consolidated amended municipal-liability complaint. The recommendations distinguished legally barred claims from claims that could be repleaded. Because the many claim-specific dispositions are intertwined, this memorandum is presented as a reasoning example rather than divided into separate motion outcomes.
