Description
Defendants-Appellants, all officials of the Louisiana Department of Social Services (collectively "LDSS"), appeal from the district courts denial of their motions to dismiss on grounds of sovereign immunity (sometimes, "Eleventh Amendment immunity") a complaint brought against LDSS by Plaintiff-Appellant Janice Kazmier under the Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA"). As we conclude that the particular provisions of the FMLA that are at issue in the instant case do not validly abrogate the State of Louisianas sovereign immunity, we reverse and remand with instructions to dismiss Kazmiers action.
