1Opinion of the Court
JOHN W. PECK, Senior Circuit Judge.
This is a first amendment case, involving the application of the first amendment’s Establishment Clause (as made applicable to the states through the fourteenth amendment) to the leasing of space in an airport to a church for use as a chapel. Appellants, taxpayers in the City of Cleveland, filed suit in the district court seeking to enjoin such a lease by the City’s Department of Port Control (“Port Control”) to the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland (“the diocese”). The district court held that taxpayers lacked standing and dismissed the suit. We reverse.
