Q: S.E.2d at 629 (emphasis added). Similarly, in Sparks v. Peacock, plaintiff husband filed an action in superior court seeking contributions for payments on promissory notes executed by both he and his wife. Unlike the Garrison litigants, however, the parties in Sparks had not brought an action for equitable distribution in district court. Based on the wife’s motion, the superior court dismissed the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On appeal, this Court acknowledged the jurisdictional nature of section 7A-244, stating that if the parties had indeed brought an equitable distribution action and such action was pending pursuant to section 7A-244, the superior court would not have jurisdiction over the propriety of payments on the promissory note. Id. at 641, 500 S.E.2d at 118 (<HOLDING>); see also Ward v. Ward, 116 N.C. App. 643,

Q: for constitutional tort claims.” Mem. Supp. Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss 8 (quoting Harris v. Holder, 885 F.Supp.2d 390, 397 (D.D.C.2012)). Defendants are also right in noting that although Plaintiffs reference 22 U.S.C. § 1623 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 throughout their complaint, see Compl. 5-9, neither statutory provision contains a waiver of sovereign immunity. Mem. Supp. Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss 8. For their part, Plaintiffs point out only that their complaint does not contain the word “damages.” Mem. Supp. Pis.’ Resp. Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss 9, ECF No. 12. But Plaintiffs cite no authority for the proposition that a complaint’s literal avoidance of the term “damages” compels a finding that the claim “seek[s] relief other than money damages.” 5 U.S.C. § 702; cf. Blue Fox, 525 U.S. at 263, 119 S.Ct. 687 (<HOLDING>). Both parties, however, overlook the fact that
