Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama affirmed the circuit court’s dismissal of Wilder’s suit, holding that he lacked standing to sue the Public Park and Recreation Board and that his claim against the City of Hoover failed to state a valid legal cause of action. The Court applied the Lujan standing test and affirmed the dismissal on both grounds.
