How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an organization that served senior citizens has standing to challenge HHS regulation that affected its programs
• concluding that plaintiff properly pleaded standing where “the challenged regulations deny the AASC organizations access to information and avenues of redress they wish to use in their routine information-dispensing, counseling, and referral 21 activities”
• explaining that the organizations “alleged inhibition of their daily operations, an injury both concrete and specific to the work in which they are engaged,” which was not a “mere ‘interest in a problem’ or ideological injury” (cleaned up)
• observing that the Age Discrimination Act was modeled on Title VI
• Standing based upon concrete organizational interests detrimentally affected by regulation that restricted the flow of information
• finding concrete injury stemming from the restriction of information that groups used in their day-to-day activities
