Summary
In a federal lawsuit filed by Disney against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other defendants, a judge has dismissed the case. The lawsuit alleged that DeSantis retaliated against Disney for publicly criticizing a controversial parental rights education law. The judge ruled that Disney lacked legal standing to sue DeSantis and the secretary of Florida's Commerce Department. Disney plans to appeal the ruling. The dismissal does not affect a separate state lawsuit filed by Disney seeking to reverse a decision made by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.
