A federal judge in Indianapolis stayed the case of a 13-year-old AIDS patient barred from re-entering school. U.S. District Judge James E. Noland said the family of Ryan White must first exhaust all other remedies under the handicapped children’s education law, including hearings before school and state officials, before a federal lawsuit could be heard. The boy is a hemophiliac who contracted acquired immune deficiency syndrome through a blood transfusion last year.
