Doe v. Londonderry School District CV-95-469-JD 07/18/97 P UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Jane Doe, et al.

v. Civil No. 95-469-JD

Londonderry School District

O R D E R

Before the court are the plaintiffs' motion for

clarification and/or modification of the court's order dated June

13, 1997 (document no. 29) and motion to reconsider the portion

of the court's order dated June 13, 1997 addressed to the issue

of punitive damages (document no. 30). Neither motion requires

extensive analysis.

With respect to the motion for clarification, the court

agrees with the plaintiffs that two changes to the court's prior

order are appropriate. Accordingly, the court's citation to

sentence two of Part II, paragraph three on page thirty of the

court's order referring to "note 18" is hereby amended to refer

instead to "note 16." The portion of the next sentence that

currently reads ". . . o r for damages she suffered after she

withdrew from LJHS," is hereby amended to read the following:

". . . o r for damages caused by harassment which occurred after

she withdrew from LJHS." With respect to the motion for reconsideration on the issue

of the availability under Title IX of punitive damages against a

municipal entity, the court finds nothing in the arguments put

forward by the plaintiffs that warrants a change of the court's

prior order.

Therefore, the plaintiffs' motion for clarification and/or

modification of the court's order dated June 13, 1997 (document

no. 29) is granted to the extent described herein and the

plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of the portion of the

court's order dated June 13, 1997 addressed to the issue of

punitive damages (document no. 30) is denied.

SO ORDERED.

Joseph A. DiClerico, Jr. Chief Judge

July 18, 1997
