Officials suspended Darryl George , 19 , last August , saying his dreadlocks violated the dress code.

He refused to cut his hair, citing its cultural significance in the black community.

Judge Jeffrey Brown denied the request, saying he had waited too long to ask for the order.

A federal lawsuit brought by George and his mother will continue.
