1Opinion of the Court

ORDER

WHIPPLE, District Judge.

Pending before the Court is Defendants’ Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. Plaintiffs filed Suggestions in Opposition and Defendants replied thereto. Defendant argues that the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Alexander v. Sandoval requires the Court to dismiss Plaintiffs’ claims because there is no private right of action to enforce the regulations that Plaintiffs seek to enforce. See Alexander v. Sandoval, 532 U.S. 275, 121 S.Ct. 1511, 149 L.Ed.2d 517 (2001). For the reasons stated herein, the Court DENIES Defendants’ motion.
