The following excerpt is from De La Torre-Flores v. Napolitano, CASE NO. 11-CV-2698-IEG (WVG) (S.D. Cal. 2012):
fails to allege any injury in fact. [Doc. No. 13-1 at 4.] "In the ordinary course, a litigant must assert his or her own legal rights and interests, and cannot rest a claim to relief on the legal rights or interests of third parties." Powers v. Ohio, 499 U.S 400, 410 (1991). An exception can exist, but only where three criteria are satisfied: (1) the litigant must have suffered an injury in fact; (2) the litigant must have a close relation to the third party; and (3) there must exist some hindrance to the third party's ability to protect his or her own interest. Id. at 410-11.
