223002P.pdf   07/12/2023  Jeffery Pratt  v.  Tony Helms
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-3002
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. Plaintiff alleged the law enforcement defendants conducted an inadequate investigation into his claims that he had been assaulted, thereby depriving him of his due-process and equal-protection rights; the district court erred in granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment as plaintiff lacked standing to challenge the failure to investigate, as a victim has no constitutional right to an investigation of a crime committed against him at least in so far as the equal-protection claim is based on a class of a single individual; the district court did not err in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment on claims under the Missouri Constitution as plaintiff failed to respond to the portion of the defendants' summary judgment motion dealing with the claims; remanded with instructions to dismiss the federal claims for lack of standing.
