The Court of Appeals held that the state agency was independent and distinct from the State itself and therefore was a “person” for purposes of § 1983, that both the agency and the State had waived immunity under § 32 (5) of the Private Housing Finance Law, and that the State had also implicitly waived its immunity by voluntarily participating in the sale of securities, an area subject to plenary federal regulation. See Parden v. Terminal R. Co., 377 U. S. 184 (1964). In view of our disposition of these cases we do not reach these issues.
