Attorneys for Gov. DeSantis are asking a judge to wait more than two years to start a trial in the administration’s long-running legal fight with Disney, a timeframe that would have them in court after the conclusion of the 2024 presidential election.
Disney sued Gov. Ron DeSantis in April, the latest shot in a legal fight that has gone on for more than a year.TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Attorneys for Gov. Ron DeSantis are asking a federal judge to wait more than two years to start a trial in the administration’s long-running legal fight with Disney, a time frame that would have them in court after the 2024 presidential election.
In their motion, the attorneys argue that Disney does not have the standing to sue the governor because he does not directly enforce the laws at issue, and he has legislative immunity that “shields” him from being sued for his role in crafting specific pieces of legislation. The DeSantis administration is also asking U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Frank to functionally freeze the federal case because there is a separate lawsuit filed by the DeSantis administration against Disney in state court, which it argues is the proper venue for such a legal challenge.
Disney sued DeSantis in April over what it said was a “targeted campaign of governmental retaliation.” It was the latest in a fight that has gone on more than a year, which started after the entertainment giant issued a statement critical of Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay bill signed into law by DeSantis in 2022. It banned the discussion of general identity or sexual orientation in public school classrooms up to third grade.
