   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and
   Melloy, Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Attorneys' fees. The district court's October 27, 2008 order granting a stay of Missouri's "Halloween Statute" concerning sex offenders' participation in Halloween activities never provided judicial relief because the order was stayed by this court, and, as a result, the district court order could not confer prevailing party status on plaintiffs; district court order dismissing the plaintiffs' case as moot did not confer prevailing party status on them; since neither basis identified by the plaintiffs confers prevailing party status on them, the district court's award of attorneys' fees and costs to plaintiffs under Section 1988 is set aside, and their appeal of the district court's order reducing their fees is dismissed as moot; plaintiffs' fear of arrest and prosecution under the Halloween statute is speculative and hypothetical and there is no reasonable expectation that a prosecution based upon such arrest will occur, and the district court did not err in determining plaintiffs lacked standing and in dismissing their second amended complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
