Opinion Summary
AI Abstract

In the 1958 case of Deen v. Hickman, Chief Justice, Supreme Court of Texas et al., plaintiff J.E. Deen sought a writ of mandamus to compel the defendants - members and clerk of the Supreme Court of Texas - to file his application for writs of error in two cases previously decided against him by that court. The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed Deen's petition on grounds that it lacked jurisdiction over state courts under Article III, Section 1, Clause 1 and Amendment XI (the Eleventh Amendment) which prohibits federal courts from hearing cases "commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens." In essence, this ruling affirmed states' sovereign immunity from lawsuits brought by individuals in federal court without their consent.
