Civil case - Civil rights. District court did not err in dismissing claims for lack of standing. See this court's opinion in McClain v. American Econ. Ins. Co., 424 F.3d 728 (8th Cir. 2005). However, the court erred in dismissing plaintiff's claims that the defendants violated the Fair Housing Act and the Civil Rights Act by charging homeowners in predominantly black neighborhoods higher premium rates for the same type of coverage they provided homeowners in white neighborhoods; the filed rate doctrine may not be applied to bar damage claims under federal civil rights statutes based upon the state's economic regulation of insurance rates.
