   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1428
                          and No:  10-1579
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Hannibal   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Melloy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Civil rights. True threats are not protected by the First
   Amendment and here the school district was given enough information
   that it reasonably feared DJM had access to a handgun and was thinking
   about shooting specific classmates; in light of the district's obligation to
   protect its students and reasonable concerns created by other school
   shooting incidents, the district did not violate DJM's First Amendment
   rights by notifying the police about the messages and subsequently
   suspending him after he was placed in juvenile detention; the action was
   also appropriate under the school's authority to prevent a substantial
   disruption of school activities; district court did not abuse its discretion 
   in remanding DJM's state law claim for administrative relief to Missouri
   state court after it dismissed his Section 1983 claims.
