The judge rules there was no evidence the CIFSS bylaws were being applied against him in a discriminatory manner.

A judge today declined for a second time to order the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section to let a UCLA- bound shot putter participate in a competition at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Luis Lavin said he was not issuing a preliminary injunction in favor of Amir Patterson, because there was no evidence the CIFSS bylaws were being applied against him in a discriminatory manner.

The judge found that Patterson did not have a disability that would create an exception in his case. Patterson says he difficulties due to lack of social maturity after he skipped from the first to the second grade, leaving him younger that most of his classmates.
