United States Eighth Circuit

In a challenge to ordinances enacted by the City that address illegal alien employment in the context of real estate occupation and leasing, district court judgment in favor of defendant is affirmed where: 1) the district court had jurisdiction over the matter, as the city ordinances in question were in fact enforceable against plaintiffs and thus plaintiffs had standing to challenge them; and 2) the matter was not precluded by a prior Missouri state court order.
