Opinion
Case No. 11-12952
05-17-2012
CALVIN WEST, Plaintiff, v. EVELYN BELL, Defendant.
Hon. John Corbett O'Meara
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS
Before the court is Defendant's motion to dismiss, filed April 13, 2012. Plaintiff did not file a response, which was due May 7, 2012. The court did not hear oral argument.
Upon review of Defendant's brief and the legal authority cited therein, the court concludes that Plaintiff's complaint must be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and because his claims are barred by sovereign immunity.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's motion to dismiss is GRANTED and Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED.
John Corbett O'Meara
