The following excerpt is from Rubin v. City of Santa Monica, 308 F.3d 1008 (9th Cir. 2002):
To have a justiciable claim, a litigant must meet three constitutional standing requirements: (1) he must have directly suffered an injury in fact, (2) the injury must be fairly traceable to the defendant's conduct, and (3) a favorable court decision must be likely to redress the injury. See, e.g., Northeastern Florida Contractors v. Jacksonville, 508 U.S. 656, 663, 113 S.Ct. 2297, 124 L.Ed.2d 586 (1993).
