Disney Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit from DeSantis Appointees

Disney is asking a Florida judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and his appointees, who are seeking to neutralize Disney's efforts to prevent a takeover of Disney World's governing district. The feud between Disney and DeSantis stems from the company's opposition to the "Don't Say Gay" legislation championed by the governor. Disney argues that the case should be dismissed because the Republican-controlled legislature has already passed a law voiding the agreements. If the judge decides not to dismiss the case, Disney requests that it be put on hold until a federal lawsuit in Tallahassee is resolved.
