  1. Strategic Pharmaceutical Solutions, Inc. v. Nevada State Board of Pharmacy et al

    MOTION to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction

    Filed September 11, 2016

    Nevada has not consented to waive its Eleventh Amendment immunity. O’Connor v. Nevada, 686 F.2d 749, 750 (9th Cir. 1982), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1071 (1982); Nev. Rev. Stat. 41.031(3). Eleventh Amendment immunity not only protects the state from suit, but also an arm or instrumentality of the State. Regents of the Univ. of California v. Doe, 519 U.S. 425, 429 (1997). There are five factors a court reviews when determining whether an entity is an instrumentality or arm of the state: (1) whether a money judgment would be satisfied out of state funds; (2) whether the entity performs central government functions; (3) whether the entity may sue or be sued; (4) whether the entity has the power to take property in its own name or only in the name of the state; and (5) the corporate status of the entity.
