PER CURIAM.

Jeffery K. Caswell, Victoria Caswell, and Russ Dreyer appeal the district

the record, see Advantage Media, L.L.C. v. City of Eden Prairie, 456 F.3d 793, 798

(8th Cir. 2006) (de novo standard of review), we agree with the district court’s wellreasoned opinion that, due to the lack of redressability, the appellants lack standing

in this matter. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61 (1992) (to

establish standing, plaintiff must demonstrate, inter alia, the likelihood that a

favorable decision by the court will redress the alleged injury); Planned Parenthood

of Mid-Mo. & E. Kan., Inc. v. Ehlmann, 137 F.3d 573, 577 (8th Cir. 1998) (to

establish redressability, plaintiff must make more than “merely speculative” showing

that court can grant relief to injury). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
