MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
CLARKE, District Judge.
The defendants move the Court for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, on the grounds that the defendants were cloaked with sovereign immunity and are, therefore, not subject to being sued in negligence. Jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship, the plaintiff being a citizen of the State of Nebraska and the defendant Southeastern Tidewater Opportunity Project, Inc., a Virginia corporation. The amount sued for ($1,000,000) is in excess of the jurisdictional amount required. 28 U.S.C. § 1332.
