212118P.pdf   07/14/2022  State of Missouri  v.  Janet Yellen
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2118
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit Judge] Civil case - American Rescue Plan of 2021. The district court did not err in dismissing the case on the ground that Missouri lacked standing to challenge the Department of the Treasury's Interim Rule implementing the Offset Restriction provisions of the Act - see 87 Fed. Reg. 4338 (Jan. 27, 2022); Missouri lacked standing because Treasury never adopted or endorsed Missouri's view of the potential application of the Regulation; nor did Missouri allege any intent to engage in conduct proscribed by the Offset Restriction on its face or the Secretary's interpretation of it; Missouri's alleged injury is simply conjectural or hypothetical and not one that is actual or imminent; nor did Missouri allege a future injury that is certainly impending; without an injury in fact, the case was properly dismissed for lack of standing.
