Alison Reedy v. Huron School District: Date Argued: January 28th, 2026; Docket Number: 25-1234

Case Summary:In the district court, Alison Reedy, as next friend on behalf of her minor son D.R., brought a federal civil‑rights suit against the Huron School District and related officials and agencies, and she now appeals to the Sixth Circuit from an adverse judgment.More specifically, Reedy filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Detroit) under case number 2:23‑cv‑10221, alleging civil‑rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and related theories arising from how the Huron School District, its administrators, the Huron Township Police Department, individual officers, and a county prosecutor responded to incidents involving her minor son at school.The district court proceedings, presided over by Judge Gershwin A. Drain (with Magistrate Judge Kimberly Altman), involved motions to dismiss and later motions for judgment on the pleadings raising qualified‑immunity and governmental‑immunity defenses, as well as an order staying discovery on all of Reedy’s claims while those immunity‑based dispositive motions were resolved.After the district court ultimately entered judgment in favor of the defendants on Reedy’s federal civil‑rights and related claims, Reedy, on behalf of D.R., appealed that adverse decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, where the case is docketed as Alison Reedy, et al. v. Huron School District, et al., No. 25‑1234, from the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit.In the present court, the Sixth Circuit, Reedy challenges the district court’s judgment, and oral argument on her appeal was held on January 28, 2026, before a panel of the court as reflected on the court’s oral‑argument calendar and the posted argument‑audio entry for Alison Reedy v. Huron School District.
