Varnell v. Dora Consolidated School District

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that because federal law does not establish a time limitation for bringing Section 1983 claims, when a federal cause of action arises in New Mexico, local time-limitation rules govern
• holding that Title IX’s limitation period is the general limitations period under state law
• explaining that Title IX claims are governed by the states statute of limitation for personal injury
• rejecting an argument that § 1983 claims did not accrue until later because the plaintiff “did not realize the extent of her psychological injury until shortly before filing suit.”
• applying the same state statutes of limitations for § 1983 claims to Title IX
• looking to federal law to determine accrual of Title IX claim
