On Friday September 12, 2008, Judge John J. DiMotto, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge, issued a permanent injunction against the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) from taking any action in declaring a high school student ineligible from participating in high school sports. In a landmark ruling that is the first of its kind in Wisconsin, Judge DiMotto agreed that the WIAA is a "state actor" whose decisions are subject to judicial review. Judge DiMotto also reversed the WIAA's Board of Control's determination that a student was ineligible to play sports on the grounds that the determination was arbitrary, oppressive, and unreasonable.
