42 USC § 1981 action alleging racially discriminatory grantmaking; Standing; “Injury in fact”; Entry of judgment for defendants

On petition for a rehearing en banc, the original panel reviewed the petition and concluded that the issues raised were fully considered in the original submission and decision (see eJournal # 85286 in the 3/11/26 edition). Judge Boggs would grant the petition for panel rehearing for the reasons stated in his dissent in the original opinion. Less than a majority of the court’s judges voted in favor of rehearing en banc. Thus, the petition was denied.
