Docket entry
982466 School Board City of Portsmouth v. Colander 09/17/1999 The evidence was insufficient in a student's case against a local school board to support the conclusion that the decision to continue the services of a teacher after prior misconduct reflected deliberate indifference to the risk that he would violate plaintiff's federal civil rights by videotaping her in a state of undress. As a matter of law, proof of causation was inadequate. The judgment in favor of plaintiff is reversed, and final judgment entered.
