Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge:
Larry Schack (“Schack”) and the American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”) appeal the decision of the district court dismissing their case against the Florida Bar (“Bar”) and the Judicial Qualifications Commission (“JQC”) on the ground that the claim is moot. In addition, on appeal, both the Bar and the JQC argue that this court does not have jurisdiction to hear the case as no ease or controversy exists between the parties. We disagree with both the district court’s ruling and defendants’ justiciability arguments. Accordingly, we reverse and remand.
