United States Fourth Circuit
Corr v. Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, 13-1076
Dismissal of a putative class action attacking the legality of the toll charged by defendant for use of the Dulles Toll Road is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiffs' claims are barred neither by the standing requirement of Article III of the United States Constitution nor the prudential restrictions recognized on the Court's own judicial power; but 2) the tolls charged for passage on the Dulles Toll Road are user fees, not taxes, under Virginia law; and 3) their collection by defendant thus does not run afoul of the Virginia Constitution and, accordingly, does not violate the due process rights of motorists.
