Opinion

.MEMORANDUM **

Abdullah Saleh Alsheikh appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment 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 Al-sheikh’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, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992) (elements of Article III standing); see also Clapper v. Amnesty Inti USA, 568 U.S. 398, 409, 133 S.Ct. 1138, 185 L.Ed.2d 264 (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.
