OPINION
ROBERT L. CARTER, District Judge.
This is a class action against defendants arising from constitutional violations allegedly committed by the New York State Division of Human Rights (“SDHR” or the “Division”). The plaintiffs-intervenors seek a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and damages.
Defendants now move to dismiss the damage claims, pursuant to Rule 12(c), F.R.Civ. P., on grounds of qualified immunity. Alternatively, defendants ask the court to dismiss the damage claims asserted against defendant Mercado (“Mercado”) under the doctrine of absolute legislative immunity.
