   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
[PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Kobes, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff had standing to bring a facial challenge against the provision of Northwest Missouri State's literature-distribution policy which required him to notify a university administrator prior to distribution of his materials on campus; he did not have standing to challenge provisions which prohibited the distribution of certain types of materials as the provision then in effect played no part in the University's actions denying him access, and he did not allege a credible threat of enforcement of the subsequently-adopted amendment to the provision; the advance notice provision was content neutral and did not amount to a prior restraint because the provision did not require that the distributor obtain approval, only that they provide the University with advance notice of the distribution; once notice was given, the distribution was unrestricted, provided the materials did not violate other provisions of the policy; award of attorneys' fees to plaintiff vacated in light of the fact that plaintiff is no longer the prevailing party.
