        Kazmier v. Widmann, 2000 WL 1210502 (5th Cir. Aug. 25), per Wiener
joined by Garwood, holds that state sovereign immunity bars recovery against
a state under the Family and Medical Leave Act.  Dennis, dissenting, would
hold that the FMLA enforces the 14th Am's guarantee of equal protection
without regard to sex.
