Jeffrey K. Caswell v. City of Bloomington

PER CURIAM. Jeffery K. Caswell, Victoria Caswell, and Russ Dreyer appeal the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in their action challenging a City of Bloomington zoning ordinance regulating the land use around a newly constructed runway at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Having carefully reviewed the record, see Advantage Media, L.L.C. v. City of Eden Prairie, 456 F.3d 793, 798 (8th Cir.2006) (de novo standard of review), we agree with the district court’s well-reasoned opinion that, due to the lack of redressability, the appellants lack standing in this matter. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992) (to establish standing, plaintiff must demonstrate, inter alia, the likelihood that a favorable decision by the court will redress the alleged injury); Planned Parenthood of Mid-Mo. & E. Kan., Inc. v. Ehlmann, 137 F.3d 573, 577 (8th Cir.1998) (to establish redressability, plaintiff must make more than “merely speculative” showing that court can grant relief to injury). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Footnotes [1] The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
