Before BOOCHEVER, DAVID R. THOMPSON, and KLEINFELD, Circuit Judges.


KLEINFELD, Circuit Judge:

The district court properly dismissed this case for lack of standing. The appellantintervenors, farmworkers, lack an injury in fact likely to be redressed by a favorable decision. Two of them suffered no injury from the harm complained of, and the third seeks relief which would be of no benefit to himself. We therefore lack jurisdiction to consider the dispute on the merits.
