Question presented

Can an earlier-commenced Title VII case against the State of California, initiated with a request for a preliminary injunction during the pendency of the EEOC investigation, be foreclosed as duplicative of a later-commenced 42 USC §1981 / 42 USC §1983 case against State officials in their individual capacities?
