How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that “a challenge to the Court’s subject matter jurisdiction may be raised at any point in the proceeding, including sua sponte by the Court.”
• noting that “specifically alleging that Defendants’ actions discriminated against and interfered specifically with [a student]’s education alone” was not sufficient to excuse exhaustion under the contrary to law exception
• “[B]ecause the Amended Complaint does not mention” the document “or its terms or conditions[,]” it is neither incorporated by reference nor integral to the complaint.
• courts may also consider “documents incorporated by reference in the complaint” (quoting DiFolco v. MSNBC Cable L.L.C., 622 F.3d 104, 111 (2d Cir. 2010))
• “[T]he proper inquiry in assessing whether exhaustion was required is not whether actual discrimination occurred in the classroom; instead, it is whether the administrative process could have provided Plaintiffs with adequate relief at the time the alleged wrong occurred.”
