Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
David J. Harris vs. Missouri Secretary of State
David J. Harris appealed the circuit court's judgment, which found he lacked standing to challenge the Missouri Secretary of State's (SOS) closure of an investigation into a complaint Harris filed. Harris's complaint alleged a violation of Section 115.646 by University City officials. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's dismissal, holding that Harris, as a complainant, has no statutory right to appeal the SOS's decision and failed to demonstrate that the SOS's action directly affected his private rights.
