Outcome

The court granted defendant DeKalb County's motion to dismiss for lack of standing, finding plaintiff's allegations of future injury were too speculative. However, the court granted plaintiff's motion for attorney's fees in part under the catalyst theory, as defendant voluntarily suspended the affirmative action program at issue.
