Supreme Court of the United States
National Park Hospitality Association v. Department of the Interior — Stevens, J., Concurring
May 27, 2003538 U.S. 803
Summary
Justice Stevens concurred in the judgment, finding that petitioner lacked Article III standing because it failed to allege a specific injury traceable to the National Park Service's position that the Contract Disputes Act does not apply to concession contracts. Although the legal issue was ripe for review, the absence of concrete injury precluded federal jurisdiction. Justice Breyer dissented, arguing that petitioner and its members suffered concrete monetary harm making standing and ripeness requirements satisfied.
