   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3437
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case- St. Louis School Desegregation Case. Plaintiffs alleged the 
   State of Missouri was reallocating certain tax proceeds to St. Louis 
   charter school in violation of the 1999 Desegregation Settlement 
   Agreement, and charter school parents sought leave to intervene in the 
   matter; the district court denied the motion to intervene on the grounds 
   that the parents lacked an injury in fact as required to establish 
   standing to intervene; the district court erred in so concluding, as the 
   parents' pleading allege the charter schools will suffer a loss of funding 
   and a decline in funding if the plaintiffs prevail; if plaintiffs are 
   successful, tens of millions of dollars could be transferred from the 
   charter schools, and such an injury is neither conjectural nor 
   hypothetical and is sufficiently imminent to constitute an injury in fact; 
   further, the charter parents have establish that their injury is fairly 
   traceable to the challenged conduct of the State of Missouri and that 
   their injury is likely to be redressed by a favorable decision; the matter 
   is reversed and remanded to the district court to permit it to determine 
   in the first instance whether the charter parents meet the requirements 
   under Fed. R. Civ. P. 24 for intervention as of right or for permissive 
   intervention.
