   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3013
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Kelly, Circuit Judge, and Menendez, 
   District Judge] 
   Civil case - Administrative Procedure. Thirteen states filed this action 
   seeking injunctive and declaratory relief and challenging Executive Order 
   13990 reestablishing the Interagency Working Group on the Social Costs of 
   Greenhouse Gases (IWG), thereby revoking President Trump's Executive Order 
   13783 disbanding the IWG. The district court did not err in concluding the 
   States lack Article III standing and that the claims were not ripe for 
   review; the States failed to plausibly allege the irreducible 
   constitutional minimum of Article III standing - concrete and 
   particularized actual injury in fact that is fairly traceable to the 
   defendants' alleged conduct, publication of interim estimates of the 
   social costs of greenhouse gas emissions; the States' generalized 
   grievance on how the current administration is considering the social 
   costs fails to meet the standard of Article III pleading.
