What is the test for standing in a federal civil action?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Thomas v. Mundell, 572 F.3d 756 (9th Cir. 2009):
fundamental premise of federal standing doctrinethat a litigant's standing cannot be based on the "`generalized interest of all citizens in constitutional governance.'" Id. at 237-38, quoting Schlesinger v. Reservists Comm. to Stop the War, 418 U.S. 208, 217, 94 S.Ct. 2925, 41 L.Ed.2d 706 (1974). Thus, we held that the councilmembers' interest in that case was "`official' rather than `personal,'" rendering their claim to standing deficient. Id. at 238.
