Ole Miss has filed a motion to dismiss former Rebels coach Houston Nutt’s lawsuit against the school.
Ole Miss filed the motion Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, according to the Clarion-Ledger.
“Nutt has attempted to create jurisdiction where none exists by misrepresenting the citizenship of the University of Mississippi and the IHL Board,” the response read. “As a court of limited jurisdiction, this Court should dismiss this action in its entirety.
“Alternatively, this Court should dismiss the claims against the University and the IHL Board based on their Eleventh Amendment immunity.
