United States Eleventh Circuit

In a claim for false arrest, false imprisonment and malicious prosecution, dismissal is reversed where: 1) under the Federal Tort Claims Act, Congress waived sovereign immunity as to specified claims, including false imprisonment, false arrest, and malicious prosecution arising out of acts or omissions, including discretionary function ones, of federal investigative or law enforcement officers; and 2) the district court should not have granted the government's motion to dismiss on sovereign immunity grounds.
