	C.N. v. Ridgewood Board of Education, 2003 WL 1211895 (D.N.J. June 3, 2004)
		A federal district court in New Jersey has ruled that a school district’s use of a survey of students that included questions on sensitive subjects did not violate students’ free speech or privacy rights or parents’ rights to make decisions regarding the care and control of their children.
		The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld the dismissal of the Fifth Amendment self-incrimination claim, but it reversed the district court on all of the other claims and remanded the case back to the district court for further discovery on certain factual matters.
		The court then addressed the claim concerning parents’ rights, concluding that the nature of the survey and the parental notice negated any possible inference of school-sponsored interference with parents’ fundamental right to care for and control their children.

	Federal District Court: Petition for Rehearing
		Plaintiff respectfully petitions the court to reconsider its denial of Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment and its granting of Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment.
		This request is based on a manifest error of law made by the court, and a fact which could not have been known by the Plaintiff in the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the cross-motions for Summary Judgment were filed.

	Discourse.net: Schiavo in Federal District Court - Tentative Thoughts and Guesses
		Schiavo is Catholic, removing her feeding tube “in a manner disapproved of by the highest ecclesiastical authority of her Catholic church imposes a substantial burden on Terri’s free exercise of religion” in violation of the federal religious land use and institutionalized persons act.
		I know from my clerkship with a federal district court judge that federal trial judges, who after all live in the same legal community as the state court judges, are often quite concerned to be and to seem respectful of their state court colleagues.
		The appeals court has a rather different agenda and I suspect that the bill of attainder clause may well be considered more broadly as well as the 'de novo' instruction and the general issue of congress intervening in pending court cases with the intent of changing the result.
