Less than 24 hours after a pair of Florida parimutuels argued against a 30-day extension for Gov. Ron DeSantis et al to respond to its filing that could determine the future of sports betting in the state, the Florida Supreme Court granted the extension.
DeSantis et al now must file a response by Dec. 1, 11 days after West Flagler and Associates (WFA) has promised to file a similar case with the U.S. Supreme Court. The Florida Supreme Court did warn the DeSantis group not to request additional extensions, writing, “Multiple extensions of time for the same filing are discouraged. Absent extenuating circumstances, subsequent requests may be denied.”
