letter. 

Counsel’s request is well taken, given that the Supreme

Court’s decision appears, in effect, to abrogate Clyde K v Puyallup

Sch Dist No 3, 35 F3d 1396 (9th Cir 1994), which placed the burden

of proof at the administrative level upon the school district. The

request for leave to submit supplemental briefing is accordingly

GRANTED. The parties are invited to submit simultaneous briefing

regarding the effect of Schaffer upon this matter. Briefing shall

not exceed twelve pages and shall be submitted on or before January

20, 2006. 

The parties are ORDERED to appear for a further case

management conference on February 7, 2006, at 9:00 am, or at such

other time as the parties may mutually arrange with the courtroom

deputy, Ms Cora Delfin, 415-522-2039. The parties shall submit a

case management statement in conformance with Civ L R 16-10(d).

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
