United States Eleventh Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendant county, in subrogation case involving damage to the insured's vessel caused by defendant's malfunctioning drawbridge, is reversed based on the Supreme Court's ruling that entities not qualifying as an "arm of the State" for Eleventh Amendment purposes cannot assert sovereign immunity as a defense to a suit in admiralty.
