   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3603
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Bye and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Missouri executions. The ACLU did not have standing to bring 
   an action against the Director of the Missouri Department of Corrections 
   challenging the constitutionality of Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 546.720.3, 
   which provides a private right of action against anyone who, without the 
   approval of the Director of the Missouri Department of Corrections, 
   knowingly discloses the identity of a current or former member of an 
   execution team, as any injury the ACLU might suffer is not fairly 
   traceable to the director because he does not possess any statutory 
   authority to enforce the section; because the director lacks authority to 
   enforce the section, he is also immune from suit under the Eleventh 
   Amendment; the director's authority to define the members of the team is 
   not an enforcement action within the meaning of Ex Parte Young and its 
   progeny.
