The twice-amended lawsuit filed by the father of the Texas high school student known as the “Clock Boy” has been dismissed by a federal judge.
Ahmed Mohamed, a ninth-grader in the Irving Independent School District back in 2015, bought a clock to school one day which school officials believed looked like an explosive device. Ahmed was handcuffed and questioned, and these actions generated outrage at the “Islamophobia” exhibited by school administrators and law enforcement.
Ahmed soon after got an invite to Barack Obama’s White House, along with support from Hillary Clinton and Facebook head honcho Mark Zuckerberg.
Mohamed’s family initially wanted the district and the city of Irving to give them $15 million in “damages”; when their demand wasn’t met, they sued.
The first round didn’t go their way.
And now this (via The Dallas Morning News):
The suit filed by Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed on behalf of his son, had asked for unspecified damages. The suit had been amended twice since it was initially filed in August 2016.
U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay on Tuesday ordered that the suit against the defendants be “dismissed with prejudice” and that “all relief requested by plaintiff is denied.”
Lawyers for Ahmed Mohamed could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
In a statement released Wednesday, the city of Irving said that it is “extremely pleased by the court’s ruling, which supports the justifiable actions taken by the officers in the matter. We remain committed to ensuring the safety of all Irving residents and schoolchildren.”
Judge Lindsay also noted that “all allowable and reasonable costs are taxed against [the] Plaintiff,” aka Mr. Mohamed.
