IN LITIGATION

DoorDash v. City of New York

On May 14, 2026, WLF urged the Second Circuit to reverse a lower court opinion upholding New York City’s interference in commercial transactions conducted by third-party delivery apps. As WLF’s brief explains, the lower court’s decision inappropriately relied on national security caselaw to justify downplaying the First Amendment. But under a non-wartime exacting scrutiny analysis, the City’s compelled-speech mandate can’t survive.
