Kalson v. United States
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
We presume the parties’ familiarity with the facts, procedural posture, and scope of the issues on appeal, which we reference only as necessary to explain our decision. Plaintiff-Appellant Michael Kalson appeals the dismissal of his complaint challenging the constitutionality of the National Voter Registration Act (“NVRA”), 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg et seq., by the district court (Kaplan, J.'). The district court concluded that Kalson did not have standing to bring the suit, and on that ground granted Appellees’ motion to dismiss the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We agree and affirm the judgment for substantially the reasons given by the district court.
Whether a claimant has standing is “the threshold question in every federal case, determining the power of the court to entertain the suit.” In re Gucci, 126 F.3d 380, 387-88 (2d Cir. 1997) (quoting Warth
We have considered all of Kalson’s arguments and find them to be without merit. The decision of the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
