Paid petition · Supreme Court of Florida, No. SC00-2222, SC01-275, SC04-397, SC04-852, SC-04-2011 · judgment July 16, 2018

Question presented
Petitioner, Rose Spano, questions the constitutionality of the Florida Supreme Court's decision to deny the Petitioner a right to an evidentiary hearing, and right to cross examination of witnesses in her bar disciplinary proceedings which created void judgments of suspension and disbarment. The lower court's denial of Petitioner's omnibus motion to Vacate Void Judgments, which were created by a denial of her (procedural and substantive) due process rights to an evidentiary hearing in bar disciplinary proceedings under the 5th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution, amounted to an unlawful taking of Petitioner's liberty and property interests (her Florida Bar license). Such a denial of Petitioner, Rose Spano's, constitutional rights to an evidentiary hearing and the right to cross examination of witnesses in bar disciplinary proceedings, is of such great importance to the public, that this issue deserves merit review.
