The following excerpt is from Gayer v. State Bar of Cal., 117 F.3d 1425 (9th Cir. 1997):
Abstract injury is not enough. The plaintiff must show that he has sustained or is immediately in danger of sustaining some direct injury as the result of the challenged official conduct and the injury or threat of injury must be both real and immediate, not conjectural or hypothetical.
City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 101-02 (1983) (quotations omitted).
