PER CURIAM:
  
   *
  

  Lisa Colvin (“Colvin”) appeals from a final judgment entered by the district court, which granted summary judgment to defendants, the University of Louisiana Monroe and Dr. Stephen Richters (“Richt-ers”). Colvin appeals only the determination that Richters cannot be sued in his individual capacity for violating the Family and Medical Leave Act. A careful review of

  the record in this case, a full consideration of the parties’ briefs and oral arguments on appeal, and a thorough analysis of the district court’s ruling, lead us to conclude that the district court’s judgment was not in error. Colvin’s complaint is insufficiently pleaded to overcome the sovereign immunity protection of the Eleventh Amendment. Thus, we uphold the district court’s determination that Richters may not be sued in his individual capacity.
 

  The district judgment is AFFIRMED.
  
   See
  
  5th Cir. R. 47.6.
