Question presented
Is the Eleventh Circuit opinion dismissing a verified civil rights complaint, without leave to amend and without a hearing, irreconcilable with the First Amend. guarantee to redress grievances, freedom of speech, freedom of association; and the Fourteenth Amend. guarantee of due process, equal protection when the grounds are Younger abstention, Eleventh Amendment, absolute judicial immunity, and the complaint sought prospective money damages, declaratory judgment, injunctive relief from unlawful deprivation of rights, unconstitutional discrimination, a void judgment, compelled association, and that Rule Reg. Fla. Bar 3-1.1 is facially and factually unconstitutional? Did the Eleventh Circuit fail to conform to "clearly established" Supreme Court law in ExParte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908) that an action to determine or protect a private party's rights against a state official who acted without legal or statutory authority is not a suit against the state that sovereign immunity bars when it interpreted a statement in plaintiffs complaint to bar the claims even though the complaint alleges ultra vires acts? -I
