Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Due Process
Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant-school district's motion for summary judgment in section 1983 action alleging that defendant denied plaintiff-expelled student due process when it banned plaintiff indefinitely from school property without prior notice or hearing. Plaintiff, as expelled student, was mere member of general public, and thus plaintiff had no protected liberty interest in accessing school grounds, and defendant had no obligation to provide plaintiff with process when barring him from school grounds. Ct. also rejected plaintiff's claim that instant ban violated his right to intrastate travel to extent that said right permits plaintiff access to certain public places.
