Description
Jacob Dyck, a dentist, filed a complaint against the defendants -- heads of three administrative agencies regulating dentistry and health, and the Tennessee Board of Dentistry -- in an attempt to halt administrative and judicial proceeding pending against him. The complaint, inter alia, urged that the proceedings were preempted by federal law, and requested monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief. The district court dismissed the suit on the grounds that abstention prevented a federal court from issuing injunctions in currently pending state judicial or administrative proceedings, and that the Eleventh Amendment bars citizens from recovering monetary awards against the treasury of a state. Dyck appealed the district courts dismissal of his suit. We agree with the district courts reasoning, and affirm the dismissal of Dycks suit.
