Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is asking a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit Disney filed against him earlier this year, arguing that he and the secretary of Florida’s Department of Economic Opportunity are “immune” from the litigation.

“The Court lacks jurisdiction over at least two defendants—the Governor and the Secretary—who are also immune from suit. Although Disney has grabbed headlines by suing the Governor, Disney—like many litigants before it who have challenged Florida’s laws—has no basis for doing so,” DeSantis’s lawyers wrote in the motion to dismiss.
