072651P.pdf   05/23/2008  Daniel Pucket  v.  Hot Springs School District
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  07-2651
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Riley and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - civil rights. In action by plaintiffs contending the school district's decision not to provide transportation to parochial students violated their civil rights, the district did not err in finding the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the refusal to provide transportation before March 3, 2003 as the district did not have statutory authority to bus such students prior to that date and, as a result, the district's alleged discrimination could not have caused their injury; with respect to the plaintiff's claim that failure to provide services after that date discriminated against them, plaintiffs lacked standing to raise the claim because they failed to ask the district to resume busing under the new legislation which allowed, but did not require, the district to provide such services.
