Mark Walker

Mark Walker is a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, appointed by President Barack Obama in 2013. He has been involved in several cases related to Disney and Governor Ron DeSantis' actions against the company. In January 2024, Disney filed a lawsuit against DeSantis and a board that oversees government services at Disney World, accusing them of engaging in 'a targeted campaign of government retaliation.' In this case, lawyers for the governor sought to disqualify Judge Walker due to his previous remarks about the dispute in unrelated cases. However, Disney opposed the disqualification request and Judge Walker ruled against it. Later, he recused himself from the case after learning that a relative owned 30 shares of Disney stock.
