Whether the Eleventh Amendment bars prospective declaratory and injunctive relief under Ex parte Young where state officials are engaged in ongoing constitutional violations. 3. Whether a federal court may dismiss a pro se plaintiff’s due-process claims at the Rule 12(b)(6) stage by resolving disputed factual issues against the plaintiff without discovery. 4.
