Before LOKEN, Chief Judge, MURPHY and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                             ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Jeffery K. Caswell, Victoria Caswell, and Russ Dreyer appeal the district
court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in their action challenging a City of
Bloomington zoning ordinance regulating the land use around a newly constructed
runway at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Having carefully reviewed

      1
      The Honorable Richard H. Kyle, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
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 well-
reasoned 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.
