Samuel R. Bagenstos, Washington University in St. Louis School of Law

Abstract

I filed this petition for rehearing en banc on behalf of the complainant in Alaska v. EEOC, a case in which a divided panel of the Ninth Circuit held that the Government Employee Rights Act does not validly abrogate state sovereign immunity. The court granted rehearing en banc on July 3, 2008, and will schedule argument en banc for sometime in September 2008.
