     Case: 11-11178       Document: 00512085404         Page: 2     Date Filed: 12/17/2012



                                       No. 11-11178

PER CURIAM:*
       After her daughter, an 18-year old special education student, was the
sexual victim of another student on school grounds, Appellant Belinda Colomo
brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim against the San Angelo Independent School
District and individual school officials alleging a violation of her daughter’s
constitutional rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. The district court held
that Colomo failed to plead facts demonstrating a Fourteenth Amendment
substantive due process violation, and therefore dismissed the claims against the
school district and granted summary judgment against Colomo on the claim
against the individual officials. Only on appeal has Colomo argued the case is
a “special relationship” or “state-created” danger case arising under the rubric
of DeShaney v. Winnebago Cnty. Dep’t of Soc. Servs., 489 U.S. 189 (1989). It is
clear that, in light of this court’s intervening decision in Doe v. Covington County
School District, 675 F.3d 849 (5th Cir. 2012) (en banc), we are bound to find no
error in the district court’s orders. We AFFIRM the judgment of the district
court and DENY Appellant’s motion to strike and motion for sanctions.
                                                                              AFFIRMED.




       *
         Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
