Lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and other defendants filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the lawsuit Disney filed in a federal district court.
Disney filed the lawsuit in April against DeSantis and other Florida officials in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, alleging a"relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials.
The defendants also argued that Disney cannot show how its alleged harms, based on the alleged contracts, takings, due process, or First Amendment violations, can be"traceable" or remedied by DeSantis or Ivey. The defendants also argue in the motion to dismiss that DeSantis and Ivey have sovereign immunity, while DeSantis also has legislative immunity from being sued for signing the laws which restructured Disney's central Florida district.
