King, et al. v. Cuomo, et al.,
Filing 30
OPINION AND ORDER. The Court dismisses all claims against New York State on the grounds that the Eleventh Amendment bars such a suit. The Court also dismisses the plaintiffs' section 1983 claims for damages alleged against the individual defenda nts in their individual capacities because state officials are entitled to qualified immunity. Finally, the Court finds that the Eleventh Amendment bars one of plaintiffs' two requests for declaratory relief and declines to grant plaintiffs' second request for declaratory relief. Accordingly, defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint is granted. (Signed by Judge Sidney H. Stein on 1/4/11) (rjm)
