OPINION

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, plaintiff, a state 

inmate, filed this lawsuit complaining that he was 

sexually harassed by defendant Matthew Cooke, a 

correctional officer. This lawsuit is now before the 

court on the recommendation of the United States 

Magistrate Judge that plaintiff’s claims against 

defendant Alabama Department of Corrections be 

dismissed, as the Eleventh Amendment makes it immune 

from suit. Also before the court are plaintiff’s 

objections to the recommendation. After an independent 

and de novo review of the record, the court concludes
