J. Gibbons finds a federal court in Ohio properly dismissed a former OG/GYN student’s lawsuit against the Wright State University medical school, which dismissed her from the program — resulting in her firing from a hospital residency — after her “unprofessional behavior” resulted in “a long series of complaints.” Neither her contract nor her due process rights were violated when she was dismissed. Affirmed.
Court: 6th Circuit, Judge: Gibbons, Filed On: March 21, 2024, Case #: 23-3475, Categories: education, health Care
Per curiam, the circuit finds the district court improperly found for a detention center in this suit filed by a 16-year-old detainee who says it failed to provide educational and mental health services. Though a cited agency regulation does not override federal law allowing a state to assign education compliance to any public agency, the center did not modify its plans for the detainee once it received a medical report regarding his vulnerable mental health. There is a dispute of fact whether a single counselling session was reasonable. Reversed in part.
Court: 5th Circuit, Judge: Per curiam, Filed On: November 15, 2023, Case #: 23-50191, Categories: education, health Care, Prisoners' Rights
J. McCafferty grants in part a college’s motion to exclude an expert, for a medical student it expelled for sexually assaulting another medical student, from providing testimony regarding the student’s lost wages and earning capacity. The expert is qualified to give the testimony and used a credible methodology, but her testimony regarding the student’s potential future career in cardiology should be excluded because he chose to pursue internal medicine rather than cardiology.
Court: USDC New Hampshire, Judge: McCafferty, Filed On: October 18, 2023, Case #: 1:22cv18, NOS: Education - Civil Rights, Categories: education, health Care, Experts
J. Foote denies a request by a university hospital to dismiss an abuse of rights claim brought by a female physician arising from her sex discrimination and job retaliation complaint against the chancellor of the medical center, who also supervised her cleft and craniofacial fellowship. The doctor’s allegations are sufficient and include claims that the hospital’s predominant motive for denying her privileges at the facility was to retaliate against her for making a sex discrimination claim against its chancellor.

J. Singal partially grants some education professionals’ motion to dismiss claims brought against them by parents who wanted their child to attend school in person and be exempt from the Covid-19 vaccination requirement on religious grounds. The plaintiffs fail to provide substantial evidence that the law backed their viewpoints at the time the school officials did not allow their child to attend school without the vaccine based on a religious exemption.
Court: USDC Maine, Judge: Singal, Filed On: August 16, 2023, Case #: 2:22cv251, NOS: Constitutionality of State Statutes - Other Suits, Categories: Civil Rights, education, health Care
J. Chin finds that the district court properly dismissed constitutional challenges to changes in Connecticut law that eliminated a religious exemption to school vaccination requirements. The state and school board defendants were immune from suit as government entities, and the two organizational plaintiffs lacked standing to sue. However, a Muslim parent's claim that the change violated her disabled son's right to a free, appropriate public education should be looked at more closely on remand. Affirmed in part.
Court: 2nd Circuit, Judge: Chin, Filed On: August 4, 2023, Case #: 22-249-cv, Categories: education, Government, health Care
