BEA, Circuit Judge.
We are called upon to decide the extent to which the federal courts are open or closed by the Eleventh Amendment of the Constitution to persons who claim a state has improperly taken their property under a state's escheat system. The answer, as in many legal questions: "it depends." It depends on whether the property at issue is an individual's property or a state's property, and whether the relief requested is prospective or retrospective.
