GOETTEL, District Judge.
The State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (“State” or “State DEP”) has brought this action seeking a preliminary injunction under Rule 65, Fed.R.Civ.P., to prevent the United States Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“DOL” or “OSHA”) and its officials from investigating, hearing, and adjudicating an adversary complaint filed by State DEP employee, Anne Rapkin (“Rapkin”). The State claims that this federal administrative investigation and the adjudicatory proceedings violate its sovereign immunity.
