Anthony Koch v. Nancy Adams and Danny Ebbs

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Koch's claims arising from a school's confiscation and temporary retention of his cell phone. Because the circuit court considered materials outside the pleadings, the dismissal was treated as summary judgment, but the court concluded that Koch's statutory-authority argument was unsupported, the governing statute permitted disciplinary policies imposing additional penalties such as confiscation, and his due-process and injunction arguments were inadequately developed. No separate opinions were filed.
