The following excerpt is from Faletui v. Cnty. of Sacramento, No. 2:20-cv-1342 AC P (E.D. Cal. 2020):
A cognizable claim must also be limited to plaintiff's own experience and personal risks; he cannot state a claim by asserting the interests of other or all detainees. "A litigant appearing in propria persona has no authority to represent anyone other than himself in the action. Russell v. United States, 308 F.2d 78, 79 (9th Cir. 1962).
