Jackson v. Oconee Cmty. Serv. Bd., F. Supp. 2d (M.D. Ga. June 8, 2006).    Georgia legislature specifically waived the state's sovereign immunity from federal disability discrimination claims because a state statute, the Fair Employment Practices Act, O.C.G.A. § 45-19-20 et seq., had waived immunity from comparable actions brought under state law; thus, defendant state DOC could have been, and was, sued in state court on federal disability discrimination claims by plaintiff former employee, and further, DOC's removal of the case to federal court waived its eleventh amendment immunity.
