Opinion
Case No. 16-12959
02-26-2018
BRENDA K. SANDERS, Plaintiff, v. MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT, et al., Defendants.
District Judge Avern Cohn
ORDER AMENDING AND CORRECTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION [Doc. #184]
On February 23, 2018, I filed a Report and Recommendation (R&R) addressing four motions to dismiss and one motion for judgment on the pleadings [Doc. #184]. One motion in particular was filed by the Michigan Attorney Discipline Board, the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission, and the Michigan Supreme Court [Doc. #82]. The Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission ("AGC") was not part of that motion, and I erroneously stated that the AGC had not filed a motion to dismiss. I therefore recommended that the AGC be dismissed sua sponte under the principle of Eleventh Amendment immunity.
However, the AGC in fact did file a separate motion to dismiss or for judgment on the pleadings [Doc. #169]. Therefore, that part of my R&R [Doc. #184] that addresses the AGC is stricken. I will issue a separate R&R addressing the AGC's motion to dismiss.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
