ORDER: The motion by Defendant Illinois State Board of Elections to substitute counsel 47 is granted. The Board's motion to dismiss 27 is granted. Even though the Court granted Plaintiffs' unopposed motion to hold the briefing schedule on Defendant Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White's motion to dismiss, the Court finds that Plaintiffs' state law claims under the Illinois Election Code are barred by the Eleventh Amendment. Accordingly, the Secretary of State's motion to dismiss 23 is granted. As a result, Plaintiffs' motion for an extension of time to respond to the Secretary of State's motion to dismiss [ 49] is denied as moot. Signed by the Honorable Charles R. Norgle, Sr on 3/25/2021.
