   son M.G.’s educational needs. The district court affirmed the determination
   of a Special Education Hearing Officer that CCISD did not violate either
   statute.   After review of the briefs and record, and after hearing oral
   argument, we conclude that the district court thoroughly considered the case
   brought by the plaintiffs, fairly considered CCISD’s defenses to the claims,
   and committed no reversible error in its decision.         Accordingly, we
   AFFIRM the judgment of the district court essentially for the reasons stated
   in its thorough, well-reasoned opinion.
