Judge partially grants defaults, strikes defendant’s motion in Ursuline High School lawsuit
A judge granted partial default judgments and dismissed motions in a lawsuit against Ursuline High School involving allegations of hazing and abuse.Summary
A federal judge has issued rulings in a civil case concerning allegations of hazing and sexual abuse at Ursuline High School. Judge Benita Pearson granted default judgments against 13 defendants who failed to respond to the lawsuit within the allotted timeframe, while denying the motion for others who did respond or sought extensions. The judge also approved the dismissal of three defendants who reached settlement agreements with the plaintiffs. Additionally, the judge struck down a motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by the defendants due to a violation of page-limit rules, prohibiting them from refiling without further order. The original lawsuit, filed in September under the pseudonym “Doe,” alleges hazing and sexual abuse stemming from a football team trip, and was later expanded to include claims from the Roe family regarding a 2024 football camp trip. A damages hearing may be held pending the resolution of the remaining cases.
