Claim Types
Outcome
The district court granted summary judgment to the school district on all claims and awarded nearly $600,000 in attorney's fees and costs to defendants. The appellate court vacated the fee award and remanded, finding that some plaintiffs' state-law claims were brought with reasonable cause and that the fee award improperly included compensation for defending against non-frivolous ADA claims, which is preempted by federal law.
