Benjamin Ramirez v. Missouri Prosecuting Attorneys' &…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the circuit court’s grant of summary judgment, holding that sovereign immunity bars Ramirez’s unjust‑enrichment claim against the Director and Treasurer and that the statutes authorizing the seven state fund surcharges do not violate Article I, section 14 of the Missouri Constitution. The Court affirmed that the state has not waived sovereign immunity, either expressly or by implication, for such a claim.
