182138P.pdf 04/09/2019 Kali Myers v. Sioux City, Iowa, City of
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-2138
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case- Civil rights. Myers, who neither owns a dog nor lives in Sioux
City, did not have standing to challenge the city's ordinance banning pit
bulls; statements of intention to own a dog and bring the dog into the
city are "some day" intentions which, without descriptions of concrete
plans or indeed any specifications of when the some day will be, do not
support a finding of the kind of actual or imminent injury necessary to
create standing; the district court did not abuse its discretion by not
holding an evidentiary hearing prior to its sua sponte dismissal of Myers'
claims.
