Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit January 11, 2018, No. 16-3968 (Niang v. Carroll)

BENTON, Circuit Judge.

Missouri statutes require African-style hair braiders to be licensed as barbers or cosmetologists. Ndioba “Joba” Niang and Tameka Stigers challenge this requirement under the Fourteenth Amendment. The district court1 granted summary judgment for the State. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
