   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3242
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Colloton and Beam, Circuit Judges] Civil case - School Desegregation. Plaintiff lacked standing to sue the Voluntary Interdistrict Choice Corporation, a non-profit corporation created by a 1999 settlement agreement in the St. Louis School Desegregation Case, over a claim that a policy declaring African-American students living outside the city ineligible for enrollment in the city charter schools was a violation of plaintiff's civil rights; the decision to reject the student's enrollment was made by the charter school to which the student applied, and VICC has no administrative or supervisory authority over the charter schools; in any event, the rules and regulations for charter schools are made by the schools and the State of Missouri, and nothing VICC did caused plaintiff's injury; since plaintiff's injury is not fairly traceable to VICC, plaintiff lacks standing.
