  Wrightslaw - The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The district court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss primarily on the grounds that such damages are unavailable under IDEA, that the Sellers failed to allege a section 504 violation, and that the Sellers’ failure to state a claim under either IDEA or section 504 likewise required dismissal of the section 1983 claim.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
That a court may, after hearing evidence and argument, come to the conclusion that an incorrect evaluation has been made, and that a different placement must be required under [IDEA], is not necessarily the same thing as a holding that a handicapped child has been discriminated against solely by reason of his or her handicap.

The Court's attempt to distinguish Burgett, Tucker, and Loper on the ground that the validity of the subsequent convictions or sentences in those cases depended on the reliability of the prior uncounseled felony convictions, while in the present case the law focuses on the mere fact of the prior conviction, is unconvincing.

 PsycLAW: Currie v. United States
The court then held that the obligation to control the patient's conduct equally gave rise to a duty to commit.
Result: The Fourth Circuit held that the North Carolina Supreme Court could not hold a competent therapist to a duty of affirmatively seeking control over his patient through involuntary commitment.
It refused to impose a duty to commit on grounds that the imposition of such a duty would: (a) require breaches of the confidential patient-therapist relationship that would destroy the therapist's ability to continue to treat the patient; and (b) threaten the constitutionally protected liberty interests of the patient.
