 LAPIDES V. BOARD OF REGENTS OF UNIV. SYSTEMOF GA.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Conceding that a state statute had waived Georgia’s sovereign immunity from state-law suits in state court, the State claimed Eleventh Amendment immunity from suit in the federal court.
Here, Georgia was brought involuntarily into the case as a defendant in state court, but it then voluntarily removed the case to federal court, thus voluntarily invoking that court’s jurisdiction.
That Georgia claims a benign motive for removal–not to obtain litigating advantages for itself but to provide the officials sued in their personal capacities with the interlocutory appeal provisions available in federal court–cannot make a critical difference.
