152703P.pdf   11/02/2016  Gary Hughes  v.  City of Cedar Rapids
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-2703
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Beam, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Traffic cameras. In action by drivers claiming the City's use of automated traffic cameras to ticket red-light violations violated their fde process rights, the fundamental right to travel, Iowa Code Section 602.6101 and caused unjust enrichment to the City and the company providing the service, the district court did not err in finding plaintiff Hughes lacked standing as he had no injury in fact; further the court correctly determined plaintiff Mazgaj did not have standing to assert his wife's claim; however, plaintiff Lee's claims did establish standing as he has the hardship of a citation and the costs of litigation; while the district court did not err in finding Mazgaj and Hughes lacked standing, the court never had jurisdiction over their claims and it should have remanded their claims to the state court from which the action had been removed; with respect to six other named plaintiffs, those drivers established standing to bring procedural-due-process claims; however, they failed to show a procedural due process violation as they did not show the risk of an erroneous deprivation as a result of the procedures employed; allegations that the administrative process provided for the tickets was a "rubber stamp" and a "sham" were too conclusory to support their claim for violation of their procedural-due-process rights; claims that the system violated their substantive rights - such as the right to travel and the Privileges and Immunities Clause - is rejected; Equal Protection claim rejected; claim that the procedures violated Iowa Department of Transportation rules was not ripe as that issue is pending in state court,and the district court should dismiss without prejudice plaintiff's state-law claims based on an alleged violation of the rules; unjust enrichment claim rejected.
