U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2001-05-21

Relies on Board of Trustees of the University of Alabamas v. Patricia Garrett · Strahan v. Coxe

Decided 2001-05-21

PER CURIAM.

¶1The judgment is affirmed substantially for the reasons set forth in the district court’s opinion. To clarify one misunderstanding voiced by plaintiff: although the Eleventh Amendment by its terms refers only to suits against a State by citizens of another State, the Supreme Court has “extended the Amendment’s applicability to suits by citizens against their own States.” Board of Trustees of Univ. of Alabama v. Garrett, 531 U.S. 356, 121 S.Ct. 955, 962, 148 L.Ed.2d 866 (2001); accord, e.g., Strahan v. Coxe, 127 F.3d 155, 166 (1st Cir.1997).

¶2Affirmed. See Loc. R. 27(c).
