Description

Wanda Portiss employment discrimination case, brought under state and federal law, was dismissed on summary judgment by the district court. The district court relied on Leaman v. Ohio Dept of Mental Retardation & Development Disabilities, 825 F.2d 946 (6th Cir. 1987) (en banc), cert. denied, 487 U.S. 1204 (1988). However, it misapprehended the fact that Leaman only bars suits against state officers and employees, not suits against the state itself. Therefore, we reverse in part and remand for further proceedings.
