Proyecto Pastoral at Dolores Mission v. County of Los Angeles

MEMORANDUM *

Plaintiffs-Appellants Proyecto Pastoral at Dolores Mission and Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los An-geles (the “Nonprofits”) appeal the district *744 court’s grant of summary judgment based on lack of standing. The Nonprofits brought a Title VI, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq, claim challenging the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor’s decision to reallocate gang-prevention funds in even shares to all districts as having a disparate impact on districts with a greater need for the funds, which had higher African American and Latino populations.

We review grants of summary judgment and standing determinations de novo. Walker v. City of Lakewood, 263 F.3d 1005, 1012 (9th Cir.2001).

Accordingly, we affirm.

The Nonprofits have not shown that they meet the requirements for contractor standing under Northeastern Florida Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America v. City of Jacksonville, 508 U.S. 656 , 113 S.Ct. 2297 , 124 L.Ed.2d 586 (1993).…
