Heading: Claims Against Mission Housing and 1010 SVN Associates

Text: 49 We conclude, as well, that the district court properly dismissed defendants Mission Housing and 1010 SVN Associates. There is no standing against Mission Housing because plaintiffs have not adequately alleged facts to establish either causation or redressability. While Mission Housing concurred in the MOA, it was not a signatory. Mission Housing's only connection to the Van Ness Project was submitting architectural plans to the City. This connection simply is too attenuated to grant standing to the Homeowners. See Regents of the Univ., 82 F.3d at 298. Unlike the City, Mission Housing is not specifically obligated to confer with the public in Stipulation 5 or anywhere else in the MOA. Given that Stipulation 8 does not establish standing against HUD, a signatory to the MOA, it certainly is not adequate to confer standing against Mission Housing. See Simon, 426 U.S. at 42-45; Warth, 422 U.S. at 507. For all of these reasons, Homeowners cannot establish standing against Mission Housing. 50 Further, Homeowners have not stated any claim for relief against 1010 SVN Associates, the owner of record of the Van Ness Project property. See Tyler II, 136 F.3d at 607 (holding that a complaint should be dismissed if it does not allege facts that would entitle a plaintiff to relief). 1010 SVN Associates did not join the MOA as a signatory or a concurring party. 1010 SVN Associates is not even mentioned in the MOA. See Citizens' Comm., 456 F. Supp. at 115 (holding that plaintiffs who were neither signatories to nor mentioned in a MOA lack the contractual and constitutional standing required). Homeowners have simply failed to state any claim against 1010 SVN Associates.
