Opinion — STANDING — Bingham v. Massachusetts (1st Cir.)
Plaintiffs, the alleged decedents of members of a 17th-century Native American tribe which was deeded property in 1665 and 1667, lack standing to enforce the deeds because they have not alleged facts showing that have an individual interest in the property rights granted in the deeds.
