Consistent with the reasoning of this opinion, it is ORDERED as follows: (1) Counts 3, 4, 5, 14, and 15 are DISMISSED with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted; and (2) Counts 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 are DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. This action proceeds as to five counts: Pla intiffs claims that section 177(b) of the Alabama Constitution is racially discriminatory in violation of the Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause and the Fifteenth Amendment (Counts 1 and 2); Plaintiffs claim that section 177(b) is an ex post facto law that retroactively punishes citizens (Count 11); Plaintiffs claim that section 177(b) violates the Eighth Amendments proscription against cruel and unusual punishment (Count 12); and Plaintiffs claim that section 15-22-36.1(a)(3) of the Alabama Code violates the Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause (Count 13).
