Does a plaintiff have standing to raise the rights of third parties?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Jackson v. Napolitano, Case No.: 19cv1427-LAB (AHG) (S.D. Cal. 2020):
Some of the relief sought is for the benefit of public employees generally. While on occasion a plaintiff outside the class action context may have standing to raise the rights of third parties, those conditions are not met here. See Powers v. Ohio, 499 U.S. 400, 410-11 (1991). Plaintiffs tacitly acknowledge this in their opposition, and request that if their complaint is dismissed, they be granted leave to amend so that they can bring this as a class action.
