seek prospective injunctive relief against Defendants, Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged such claims and thus, based upon the purview of Ex parte Young, dismissal of such claims is not warranted at this time. See Finch v. New York State Office of Children & Family Serv., 499 F.Supp.2d 521, 538 (S.D.N.Y. 2007). 3. Declaratory Judgment Declaratory judgments form part of the injunctive relief allowed for under Ex parte Young. See Tigrett v. Cooper, 855 F.Supp.2d 733, 744 (W.D.Tenn.2012). However, declaratory relief is not permitted under Ex parte Young when it would serve to declare only past actions in violation of federal law: retroactive declaratory relief cannot be properly characterized as prospective.
