In 2000, Richard Sprowl failed a computer class at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Eight years later, he filed suit, alleging breach of contract and defamation because the F meant he didn't have enough credits to graduate on time and that he lost "a GPA of distinction."
A Superior Court judge dismissed his lawsuit six months later, but Sprowl appealed, only his filings didn't comply with court regulations. He appealed. In a ruling today, the Supreme Judicial Court said he should leave the state's highest court alone and go back to the lower courts and let them deal with it.
