Fialka-Feldman v. Oakland Univ. Bd. of Tr., No. 10-1084 (6th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseA continuing education student, suffering cognitive disabilities, obtained an injunction requiring the university to provide him with on-campus housing and an award of $101,676 in attorney fees. While appeal was pending, the student lived in a dormitory and completed the program. He has no intention to return. The Sixth Circuit dismissed the appeal as moot and vacated the district court order, leaving the fee award undisturbed. The university did not appeal the fee award and the matter is not "capable of repetition, yet evading review." The court declined to apply the "public interest" exception.
