Case: 19-50654 Document: 00515341197 Page: 1 Date Filed: 03/11/2020
No. 19-50654

2

of 1973 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court properly dismissed for failure 

to exhaust for not invoking the IDEA administrative review process. The court

noted that the “exhaustion requirement applies even if relief is sought under 

other federal laws” such as § 1983. The defendant school district helpfully 

points out that just a few months after the district court entered judgment, this 

court reiterated this exhaustion requirement in McMillen v. New Caney Independent School District, 939 F.3d 640, 645−47 (5th Cir. 2019), petition for cert. 

filed (Jan. 30, 2020) (No. 19-972).

AFFIRMED.
