Text: 12 At the time Appellant brought this appeal, this court had held that a violation of the FERPA section at issue, § 1232g(b)(1), is actionable under § 1983. See Falvo v. Owasso Indep. Sch. Dist., 233 F.3d 1203, 1212-13 (10th Cir.2000), rev'd on other grounds, 534 U.S. 426, 122 S.Ct. 934, 151 L.Ed.2d 896 (2002). The Supreme Court subsequently has held, however, that FERPA's nondisclosure provisions create no rights enforceable under § 1983. Gonzaga Univ. v. Doe, ___ U.S. ___, 122 S.Ct. 2268, 2279, 153 L.Ed.2d 309 (2002). Accordingly, we affirm judgment for Appellees on the FERPA claim, although on a different ground than relied upon below.
