Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A homeowner filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging an ordinance passed by the local municipality that would significantly increase their property taxes if enforced. However, the ordinance has not yet been applied, and it is unclear when or if the municipality will implement it. The municipality moves to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction. What is the strongest legal reason the court should grant the motion?

  • The court cannot issue advisory opinions and must avoid ruling on hypothetical legal scenarios.

  • The case is moot because the ordinance has not yet been implemented.

  • The homeowner lacks standing because they have not suffered a specific injury tied to the ordinance.

  • The case is not ripe because the ordinance has not been enforced, and potential harm is speculative at this time.
