The 11th Circuit has affirmed a lower court’s ruling dismissing a challenge to a Florida constitutional amendment outlawing gambling on greyhound racing on standing grounds. The court upheld the district court’s dismissal of the complaint by owners and operators of greyhound-racing businesses “because they lacked standing to sue the Attorney General, who has no statutory authority to enforce the anti-gambling law.”
