How courts have described this case

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

• viable state-created danger claim involved injury to wrestler resulting from unintentional harm inflicted by larger, older wrestler
• reasonable jury could conclude that coach and athletic director were deliberately indifferent to danger of injury resulting from a policy of inviting older, alumni wrestlers to practice with the high school team
• high school wrestler paralyzed while wrestling with an older and heavier alumnus, after parents had complained about this practice and at least one other student had been injured while wrestling an alumnus
• “[I]t was clearly established at the time of the injury that a student enjoyed a constitutional right to be free from school officials’ deliberate indifference to, or acts that increase the risk' of serious injury from unjustified invasions of bodily integrity perpetrated by third parties.”
