Doninger v. Niehoff, 527 F.3d 41 (2d Cir. 2008) [1] was a United States Court of Appeals case. The case was heard by a three-judge Second Circuit panel that included Judges Sonia Sotomayor, Loretta A. Preska, and Debra Livingston. [1] The case involved a student at Lewis S. Mills High School in Connecticut who was barred from the student government after she called the superintendent and other school officials "douchebags" in a LiveJournal blog post written while off-campus that encouraged students to call an administrator and "piss her off more". [1] Judge Livingston held that the district judge did not abuse his discretion in holding that the student's speech "foreseeably create[d] a risk of substantial disruption within the school environment," [2] which is the precedent in the Second Circuit for when schools may regulate off-campus speech [1] On October 31, 2011, the United States Supreme Court declined to grant certiorari on Ms. Doninger's appeal. [3]
Although Sotomayor did not write this opinion, she has been criticized by some who disagree with it. [4]
