1Opinion of the Court
MUKASEY, District Judge:
This appeal raises the issue of whether the Eleventh Amendment prohibits a law firm that represented a state employee in federal court pursuant to New York Public Officers Law § 17 (McKinney 1988 & Supp. 1991) from moving in that federal court for additional fees to be paid by the State. We conclude for the reasons spelled out below that it does not, and accordingly vacate the District Court’s order, 752 F.Supp. 178, denying the firm’s motion on Eleventh Amendment grounds, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
