March 20, 2008.

DECISION AND ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS

D. BROCK HORNBY, District Judge.

Casco Bay Island Transit District provides commercial ferry service to various Casco Bay islands and the mainland through Casco Bay Lines. The issue on this motion to dismiss is whether the District is an arm of the state entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity. I hold that it is not and DENY the motion to dismiss.
