PLAINTIFFS
DEFENDANT
Jonathan 	and 	Patricia 	Nathan 	sued 	North 	Little Rock School
District on behalf of their minor child, J.N. 	One of their claims is that
the District violated the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA). 	Doc. 2 at 4. 	The District moves to dismiss this claim, because
the Nathans didn't file an IDEA due process complaint, request a due
process hearing, or engage in the exhaustion procedures under the
IDEA. 	20 U.S.C. § 1415(f). This Court agrees. 	Count III of the Nathans'
complaint is dismissed. 	Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools, 598 U.S. 142,
147-48 (2023). Counts I and II remain pending. Motion, Doc. 4, granted.
