Question presented

I. Whether Sovereign Immunity as deployed by Welch v. Texas Dep’t of Highways & Pub. Transp., 483 U.S. 468, 472 (1987) and its progeny, are inapplicable to Telasco's Defamation Action where The Florida Bar knowingly made a false criminal report against her to the court which resulted in an ex parte felony conviction for theft against her. II. Whether Telasco has a viable Defamation Action against The Florida Bar for falsely reporting and securing an ex parte judgment of conviction for theft, a second-degree felony, against Telasco. t f *
