6CA (2-1): Plaintiff, who was white, did not finish a grant application after being informed that only black-owned businesses were eligible. Plaintiff lacks standing because any harm caused was Plaintiff’s own doing, because he failed to finish the application.

Might be an unsympathetic Plaintiff depending on where you are politically, but this decision seems ridiculous.
Plaintiff stopped filling out an application after being told he wasn’t eligible because of his race. 6CA concludes that he did not suffer any injury because he chose to stop filling out the application at that point.
> Roberts asserts that he was injured because he was denied the ability to enter into the application-stage contract with Progressive and Circular Board. But Progressive and Circular Board did not cause Roberts’s injuries. Roberts caused them.
