Walt Disney Co.’s
DIS,
federal lawsuit against Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and others, alleged they retaliated against the company for publicly criticizing a controversial parents-rights education law backed by DeSantis, was dismissed by a judge on Wednesday. Judge Allen Winsor ruled Disney lacked legal standing to sue DeSantis. He added that Disney’s charges “fail on the merits” against members of the board of a special improvement district in which the company operates its parks and resort.
