M-E costs him, lawyer claims By KEITH GEORGE A Binghamton lawyer yesterday accused The Maine-Endwell School District of conducting "frivolous legal action" in an attempt to avoid paying him legal fees. Ronald R. Benjamin said he had received a notice that the school district was appealing a federal judge's ruling last month temporarily forbidding school officials from further evaluations of a learning-disabled boy. Edward J.

Sarzvnski, a lawyer for the school district, told of Benjamin's comments, said he did not believe it appropriate for him to comment since the case is in litigation. He confirmed that the appeal had been filed. Benjamin claimed the district's motive in appealing is to avoid paying him fees for his legal fight in behalf George H. and Jeanne Hastings, parents of the 9-year-old boy. "Their whole action has been one of harassment," Benjamin said.

"The only reason they appealed is because the judge granted my motion for attorney fees." He claimed the district's stubbornness caused the parents to incur legal costs in the first place. The district has "tried to make it expensive for the parents," because they Drought a lawsuit against the school. Benjamin said. U.S. District Court Judge Howard G.

Munson Monday said the district would have to pay some legal fees to Benjamin. Munson indicated he would evaluate the services performed before setting an amount. Benjamin said he submitted an affidavit to the judge putting the value of his services in seeking a preliminary injunction at $4,830. He said that was for 46 hours of work at $105 an hour. The Hastings claimed the district was illegally trying to reduce the level of special education services for their son by ordering unnecessary evaluations of the boy.

After hearing Benjamin and Sarzyn-ski, the judge issued a preliminary injunction. The order forbids the district's Committee on the Handicapped from further evaluations in the boy's case until it has appealed a hearing officer's decision in favor of the parents. The Hastings had objected to the district's proposed reduction of their son's special education program from 75 to 45 minutes daily. The boy was described as bright but with a learning disability. Munson said the district had no reasonable basis to believe his special education needs had changed since he began getting 90 minutes daily.

In an affidavit to the court, Benjmain said it is the claim of the Hastings that the school district's "actual purpose in initiating the administrative proceedings which were halted by this court was to make an example of (the Hastings) for bringing a suit for money damages." The Hastings are demanding $200,000 from the district, school board members and other school officials.
