Co., 639 So. 2d 606, 608 (Fla. 1994)) (holding that Florida’s litigation privilege affords absolute immunity “to any act occurring during the course of a judicial proceeding, regardless of whether the act involves a defamatory statement or other tortious behavior . . . so long as the act has some relation to the proceeding”); Fernandez v.
