Al Garret immediately filed an amended complaint to the federal court
which could rule on federal laws as well as state. In it, he listed
six charges against Belmont University: 1. Violation of due process;
2. violation of constitutional law; 3. violation of the state
administrative procedures act; 4. violation of the state
open meeting law; 5. violation of the state access to public records
and 6. violation of the fair employment practices act.
With the listing of these charges, he asked that the court issue
a restraining order, an injunction that would order the respondent,
Belmont University, to grant the plaintiff her right to a fair
and impartial hearing by the university and access to the documents
that had been withheld from her.
It was at this time, shortly after the final university hearing had ended,
that Diana began getting threatening phone calls. She was told to drop
the court proceedings if she didn't want something really bad to happen to her.
After the initial hearing on the complaint and before any decision
was handed down by the judge, Murrain filed a motion for summary judgment
on counts three, four, five and six--all of the counts related to state law.
