The California Court of Appeal is questioning whether the Poway Unifed School District v. Lindsey Stewart case was handled properly. The question is, can a small debt in a limited case be turned into an unlimited case with a $25,000 warrant for arrest?
Also, Poway Unified School District has stopped selling (for $25) the "winning" brief in this case.
Shame on PUSD for its malicous actions against a parent who was struggling to get appropriate attention for her child.
On August 11, 2005, the California Special Education Hearing Office granted the District's motion for sanctions against Stewart for her failure to notify it and SEHO in a timely manner of her withdrawal of her request for a hearing. SEHO issued an order granting the District $3,091.25 in sanctions and costs.

Crider v. Superior Court 18 Cal. Rptr.2d 757,758 (1993) “Under the California Constitution, “[a] person may not be imprisoned in a civil action for debt….” (Cal, Const.,Art.I,§ 10). “Petitioner contends the order to reimburse the county for AFDC payments made to his children in a money judgment in a civil action for debt, which may not constitutionally be enforced by contempt.” 4th Appellate ruled against their own caselaw, to get to Pro Se IDEA parent. Holding me in criminal comtempt, is not constitutionally sound. Getting PUSD attorney's fees and setting bail for $25,000 is now in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court. Lindsey E. Stewart...........
