PER CURIAM.

This case comes to us on a certified question from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The question is "[w]hether it is against public policy for an insurer to limit coverage for a therapist's non-sexual misconduct because sexual misconduct is alleged to have occurred in the same or related course of professional treatment, even though such sexual misconduct is immaterial to the non-sexual misconduct claims asserted."
