PAUL G. BYRON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Erin Joynt was awarded $2,000,000 in damages in a state law negligence action against Volusia County. Because Volusia County is a sovereign entity, and shielded by Florida's sovereign immunity caps, Plaintiff attempts to recover the excess damages awarded to her from Defendant Star Insurance Company under an excess liability policy issued to Volusia County. In the action before this Court, Plaintiff seeks a judicial declaration regarding the various rights and liabilities under the excess insurance policy.
