1Opinion of the Court
HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
These consolidated cases challenge Missouri’s practice of calculating debt owed by non-custodial parents in a manner inconsistent with federal regulations. The plaintiffs requested refunds of money collected pursuant to the improper scheme. The district court 1 granted summary judgment in favor of the state defendants, holding that the claim for retroactive refunds was barred by the Eleventh Amendment and that, with respect to the named plaintiffs, dismissal was appropriate because of a failure to prosecute. The plaintiffs appeal, and we affirm.
