   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3368
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Loken and Beam, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - Civil Rights. District court's dismissal of claims that
   secretary of state and state auditor violated First Amendment and due
   process rights by their summary statements and financial summaries to
   proposed citizen initiatives for proposed constitutional amendments is
   affirmed. Roundtable objected to the summaries provided but did not
   pursue the ballot initiatives. Roundtable lacked standing to raise First
   Amendment claim because it failed to show cognizable injury, either
   harm to its reputation or criminal prosecution, or suppression of its
   speech. On the merits of the First Amendment claim, the Missouri ballot
   initiative law doe not limit the exchange of ideas during the petition
   circulation process and Roundtree did not show that it was limited in its
   ability to speak Roundtree did not make out a procedural due process
   claim because it did not show the state's review procedures were
   inadequate or unconstitutional; it did not show conduct shocking the
   conscience to support a substantive due process claim. District court did
   not abuse its discretion in declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction
   over state law claims.
