PINEDALE (WNE) — Having worked through Wyoming’s U.S. District Court to the pretrial stage, Jane Doe and her parents’ federal-rights lawsuit against Big Piney school officials is at the point of scheduling an initial conference.

Former Big Piney student Jane Doe, her father James Doe and stepmother Mary Doe filed the suit seeking judgments against officials and restitution for what they allege as sexual harassment with a former teacher’s sexual abuse of Jane Doe and later retaliation that harmed her

Their lawsuit claims Sublette County School District No. 9 officials ignored the situation, violating Jane Doe’s Title IX rights to an education. The district’s response denies all allegations.

U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson’s order states that the parties must “meet and confer to discuss and prepare a joint report and proposed joint discovery and case management plan” before the initial pretrial conference.

He set the hearing for Thursday, Nov. 18, at 9:30 a.m. with all parties calling in. The joint reports and plans must be submitted to him seven days earlier.

Johnson’s order stated that all parties must “be prepared to discuss scheduling and all of those matters addressed in the joint report of meeting and proposed joint discovery and case management plan” and commit to the deadlines to be established at the Nov. 18 hearing.
