Question presented
Whether the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals erroneously held that Petitioners, who sought a declaratory judgment under the Declaratory Judgment Act that Michigan’s Court of Claims Act was unconstitutional, lacked standing to sue because in naming the Governor of Michigan, and the Attorney General of Michigan, as defendants, they failed to name appropriate defendants under the Supreme Court’s decision in Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908).
