The opposing parties can also file a motion to dismiss a parent’s complaint under federal civil Rule 12(b) if the parent’s claims are vague, ambiguous, or the parent can’t ask for any “relief” that the federal court can give to him/her. An example of this is when a parent tries to sue a judge, or someone appointed by a judge, for damages. See our blog on immunity and why the federal court can’t give you damages for suing someone with immunity. However, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, NALNLA. The only “relief” a parent can hope for is by asking the federal court judge to undo something that was unwarranted governmental interference #PreventUGI, but it is extremely rare for a federal judge to grant that sort of “relief”. Most likely the parent’s case will just be dismissed and not heard.
