   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1772
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Erickson and Kobes, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Title IX. Defendant Bartels, the school principal, did not 
   have actual notice that a teacher was abusing plaintiffs' child, and he 
   and the district were entitled to summary judgment on plaintiffs' Title IX 
   and Section 1983 claims; nor did the district court err in granting 
   summary judgment to Bartels and the district on plaintiffs' Nebraska 
   Political Subdivisions Tort Claims Act claims as they were entitled to 
   qualified immunity under the Act because the claims against them arose 
   from an intentional tort, the teacher's sexual assault of the student, and 
   the intentional tort exception to liability applies; nor did the court err 
   in granting summary judgment in favor of Bartels on plaintiffs' claim for 
   aiding and abetting intentional infliction of emotional distress as there 
   was no evidence that Bartels encouraged or assisted the teacher's abuse of 
   the student; plaintiffs were not entitled to a jury trial on damages after 
   the teacher failed to file an answer to their complaint and the district 
   court entered a default judgment against him; the court joins its sister 
   circuits in finding there is no right to a jury trial on the issue of 
   damages following entry of default judgment; amount of damages awarded 
   against the teacher was not inadequate under a clearly erroneous standard 
   of review.
