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.
