163650P.pdf   08/07/2017  Ronald Calzone  v.  Josh Hawley
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3650
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge and Gerrard, District Judge] Civil Case - civil rights. In challenge to Mo. Rev. Stat. sec. 304.230.1, .2 and .7, authorizing roving stops of commercial vehicles for inspection without probable cause, Calzone lacks standing to sue the governor or attorney general, but has standing to sue the superintendent of the Missouri state highway patrol under 42 U.S.C. sec. 1983 for injunctive and declaratory relief. The facial challenge fails because the statute may be applied constitutionally to participants in the commercial trucking industry under New York v. Burger, 482 U.S. 691 (1987). The district court's dismissal of the as-applied challenge against the superintendent for money damages is affirmed, because the superintendent in her official capacity is not a person under section 1983. The district court erred in dismissing the as-applied claims against the superintendent for declaratory and injunctive relief and the case is remanded for further proceedings to address whether Calzone is a covered farm vehicle under federal law, whether Missouri's law incorporates the federal regulations, and whether exemptions under federal and state law apply.
