MEMORANDUM OPINION
BROWNING, District Judge.
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the CYFD Defendants Holmes, Perez, Encinias, Bowman and Narvaez’ Motion to Dismiss Count VII, filed March 13, 2003 (Doc. 49). The primary issue is whether § 671(a)(9) of the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act (“AACWA”) — directly or through 42 U.S.C. § 1983 — confers a private right of action for damages. Because the Court finds that Congress did not intend to create a private right of action under 42 U.S.C. § 671(a)(9) for damages, the Court has granted the motion and dismissed Count VII. 1
