Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Deborah A. Ausburn argued the cause for petitioner. With her on the briefs was G. Stephen Parker.

Leonard S. Magid argued the cause for respondents. With him on the brief were Charles W. Arnold, Jr., and Steven E. Rohan.*

Thomas, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Rehnquist, C. J., and White, Stevens, Scalia, Kennedy, and Souter, JJ., joined. O'Connor, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Blackmun, J., joined, p. 669.

Justice Thomas delivered the opinion of the Court.

A Jacksonville, Florida, ordinance accords preferential treatment to certain minority-owned businesses in the award of city contracts. In this case we decide whether, in order to have standing to challenge the ordinance, an association of contractors is required to show that one of its members would have received a contract absent the ordinance. We hold that it is not.
