February 1, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 32 ORDER signed by District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller on 1/31/2018 ORDERING the Plaintiffs' complaint, as currently articulated, asserts a generalized grievance that does not establish standing to sue in federal court. The complaint is also fraugh t with non-justiciable political questions. Accordingly, the court DISMISSES the complaint under Rule 12(b)(1) based on lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, but GRANTS plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint subject to the limitations discussed a bove. The amended complaint, limited to twenty-five pages, shall be filed within twenty-one days. Because a single-judge court lacks the authority to dismiss this case on the merits under Rule 12(b)(6), Shapiro, 136 S. Ct. at 455-56, the court DENIE S without prejudice defendant's motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6), subject to renewal should this case proceed before a three-judge court at some point in the future. The court DENIES as MOOT plaintiffs' motion for sanctions. This resolves ECF Nos. 9, 11, 23. (Becknal, R)
