S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008).

The Eleventh Amendment immunizes states and their departments, including the Michigan Department of State Police, from suit unless the state has waived its immunity, Congress explicitly abrogated Eleventh Amendment immunity by statute, or plaintiff seeks “prospective injunctive and declaratory relief” from a federal court “compelling a state official to comply with federal law.” S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507-08 (6th Cir. 2008); Lavrack v. City of Oak Park, …

Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 10 (1984)); see also Ladd, 971 F.3d at 581 (“Ex parte Young can only be used to avoid a state’s sovereign immunity when a ‘complaint alleges an ongoing violation of federal law and seeks relief properly characterized as prospective.’” (quoting Verizon Md. v.

And sovereign immunity does not bar official capacity suits against state officials if the plaintiff seeks purely prospective—rather than retroactive—injunctive or declaratory relief, even if this relief has an “ancillary effect on the state treasury.” S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008); see also Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 , 159–60 (1908); Kentucky v. Graham, 473 U.S. 159 , 167 n. 14 (1985) (“[O]fficial-capacity actions for prospective relief a…

“The immunity also applies to actions against state officials sued in their official capacity for money damages.” S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008) (quoting Ernst v. Rising, 427 F.3d 351, 358 (6th Cir. 2005)).

In this case, the plaintiff alleges that the TDCI’s agent’s stating to McKamey “that warrantless ‘continued inspections will occur’ is an invasion of Mr. McKamey’s rights under the Fourth Amendment complete upon its utterance” and that defendant Lawrence, sued in his official capacity only, “is liable for his invasion and violation of Mr. McKamey’s constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment.” (Compl. ¶¶ 132, 137.) But a “‘suit against a state official in his or her off…

“The immunity also applies to actions against state officials sued in their official capacity for money damages.” S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008) (quoting Ernst v. Rising, 427 F.3d 351, 358 (6th Cir. 2005)).

In other words, his prayer for relief does not request that the Court order Parikh “to conform his conduct [according to the terms of an injunction] in an ongoing, continuous fashion.” S&M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 510 (6th Cir. 2008).

The Court additionally notes that even though the state is not a person subject to liability under § 1983, the doctrine set forth in Ex Parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908) allows a plaintiff to “bring claims for prospective relief against state officials sued in their official capacity to prevent future federal constitutional or statutory violations.” Boler v. Earley, 865 F.3d 391, 412 (6th Cir. 2017) (citing S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008)).

Although there are some exceptions, such as when a State has consented to suit, or Congress has abrogated the State’s sovereign immunity, see S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008), these exceptions do not apply here.

S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 503 (6th Cir. 2008).

See Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 676 (“[O]ur precedents establish . . . that Government officials may not be held liable for the unconstitutional conduct of their subordinates under a theory of respondeat superior.”); 3 An exception to sovereign immunity, known as the Ex Parte Young exception, see 209 U.S. 123 , 155–56 (1908), allows a plaintiff to “bring claims for prospective relief against state officials sued in their official capacity to prevent future federal constitutional or s…

The federal court may impose injunctive and prospective declaratory relief to compel a State official to comply with federal law “regardless of whether compliance might have an ancillary effect on the state treasury[.]” S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008) (citations omitted).

PAGEID # 1939.) The Ex Parte Young exception allows a court to “issue prospective injunctive and declaratory relief compelling a state official to comply with federal law....” S&M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008).

Sovereign immunity is subject to several exceptions, including “(a) when the State has consented to suit;1 (b) when the exception first set forth in Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908), applies; and (c) when Congress has properly abrogated a State’s immunity.” S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008).

The only exception applicable in this case is the Ex parte Young exception, which allows for a court to “issue prospective injunctive and declaratory relief compelling a state official to comply with federal law....” S&M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008).

Analysis First, as Plaintiff has sued Defendants only in their official capacities and seeks only a preliminary injunction, the Court construes the complaint to seek relief under the doctrine set forth in Ex Parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908), which provides that a plaintiff may “bring claims for prospective relief against state officials sued in their official capacity to prevent future federal constitutional or statutory violations.” Boler v. Earley, 865 F.3d 391, 412 (6th C…

That exception permits “prospective injunctive and declaratory relief compelling a state official to comply with federal law[.]” S&M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008).

The third exception, as set forth in Ex Parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908), “allows plaintiffs to bring claims for prospective relief against state officials sued in their official capacity to prevent future federal constitutional or statutory violations, ‘regardless of whether compliance might have an ancillary effect on the state treasury.’” Boler, 865 F.3d at 412 (quoting S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008)).

As noted above, Lindke seeks declaratory relief in addition to injunctive relief, and there appears to be authority for the proposition that “[u]nder the Ex parte Young exception [to state sovereign immunity], a federal court can issue prospective injunctive and declaratory relief.” S&M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008) (emphasis added).

Rather, under the Ex parte Young doctrine, “a federal court can issue prospective injunctive and declaratory relief compelling a state official to comply with federal law, regardless of whether compliance might have an ancillary effect on the state treasury.” [Id. (quoting S&M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008) (internal citations omitted))].

Remedies designed to end a continuing violation of federal law are necessary to vindicate the federal interest in assuring the supremacy of that law”); S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008) (stating “[u]nder the Ex parte Young exception, a federal court can issue prospective injunctive and declaratory relief compelling a state official to comply with federal law”); see also Kanuszewski v. Mich. Dep't of Health & Hum.

Thus, under the Ex Parte Young doctrine, a plaintiff may “bring claims for prospective relief against state officials sued in their official capacity to prevent future federal constitutional or statutory violations.” Boler v. Earley, 865 F.3d 391, 412 (6th Cir. 2017) (citing S & M Brands, Inc. v. Cooper, 527 F.3d 500, 507 (6th Cir. 2008)).

DISCUSSION The UA Defendants say that the remaining claims are substantively alleged against them in their official, not individual, capacities.32 As such, they argue that Eleventh Amendment immunity stops Plaintiffs’ federal claims against them.33 To establish 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against a government official in their individual capacity, a plaintiff must allege, with particularity, that each official was personally involved in the alleged unconstitutional behavior.34 H…
