Cohn v. New Paltz Central School District
Docket: No. 05-2022
Court: Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit; October 30, 2006; Federal Appellate Court
The earlier order deferred a decision on the School District's motion for Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity pending a ruling from another panel. That panel has determined that a local Board of Education in New York cannot assert Eleventh Amendment immunity, as established in Woods v. Rondout Valley Cent. Sch. Dist. Bd of Educ., 466 F.3d 232, at 251 (2d Cir. Oct. 10, 2006). Consequently, the district court’s denial of the School District’s motion to dismiss based on this immunity has been affirmed.
