dismissing for lack of standing his action alleging that the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act violates his constitutional rights. We have jurisdiction under 28
U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Wilson v. Kayo Oil Co., 563 F.3d 979, 980
(9th Cir. 2009). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Alsheikh’s action because Alsheikh
failed to allege facts sufficient to establish an injury in fact as required for Article
III standing. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61 (1992)
(elements of Article III standing); see also Clapper v. Amnesty Int’l USA, 568 U.S.
398, 409 (2013) (“[Threatened injury must be certainly impending to constitute
injury in fact, and . . . allegations of possible future injury are not sufficient.”
(citations and internal quotation marks omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
