General education high school teacher, Michael Withers, failed to comply with his student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP). D.D. Doe’s IEP required tests to be read orally. Despite knowledge of this IEP and being instructed to follow the IEP by the superintendent, school principal, special education director, and special education teacher, Withers still refused to make the accommodations for D.D.’s handicapping condition. As a result, D.D. failed the history class. His parents filed charges against Withers, arguing that D.D was not afforded the right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) promised to all students by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). They also filed a claim for injuctive relief against the Taylor County Board of Education to enforce the laws that protect handicapped students.

Ms. Fallsbauer is the one who opened the door for the police officers. (R. at 5.) She refers to the apartment as “my apartment.” (R. at 5.) She believes that the apartment is hers. She signed a consent form for the police officers to be allowed to search the apartment. (R. at 5.) Each of these moments alone was sufficient enough for a reasonable person to believe that Ms. Fallsbauer had actual or apparent authority over the premises. Once all of these factors are put together, however, it presents a much stronger showing that Ms. Fallsbauer had the authority to consent to the search. Any police officer off the street could be walked through the same situation and would reasonably believe that she had the authority to consent to search of the premises. There was no reason for the police officers to ask any further questions of Ms. Fallsbauer.

Connor” 1). “By using the “Graham standard” an officer must know when to apply constitutionally appropriate levels of force”(“Understanding Graham v. Connor” 3).
The plaintiff, Ruffin, originally sued HISD in 2008 for failing to provide adequate educational assistance as outlined in the individualized education plan (IEP) for the child “L.F.” The result of that hearing was in favor of HISD, thus extinguishing the change of placement, private tutoring, and counseling. In this request for a new trial, Ruffin alleges that the hearing officer in the 2008 suit was engaged in a relationship with HISD’s counsel, stating that the relationship somehow influenced the original decision. Ruffin alleges that the IEP in the 2007 school year was insufficient and that the child should have an extended school year (ESY). However, thenr Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) team meeting determined the child would not

In 1985, Christine J. Amos, Judy Bawden, Deniece Kanon, April Joy Reding, Arthur Frank Mason, Ruth Arriola, Shellen Adamson, and Ralph L. Whitaker sued The Corporation of the Presiding Bishopric of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the Corporation of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, for discrimination based on religion due to being fired for being unable to or unwilling to qualify for a “temple recommend”, in Utah District Court and “won”. By “won” it is meant the court decided, based on the three prong test[1] set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman, that § 702 of Title VII of The Civil Rights act of 1964 was unconstitutional when applied to non-religious duties within a non profit business owned by a religious organization, or an organization which heavily relied on funding from a religious corporation.
The Dothard v. Rawlinson case was the first United States Supreme Court case where the bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQ) defense was used (Neuberger, 1978). The Supreme Court ruled that under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, an employer cannot refuse to hire a person based off of their sex. The one exception to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is if sex is a requirement to meet the BFOQ for day to day operations of a company (Neuberger, 1978).
