Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 26 F.3d 132 (9th Cir. 1994) Argued and Submitted May 10, 1994. Decided May 24, 1994

MEMORANDUM* 

Before: FARRIS, BEEZER, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.


The estate of Roger Roxas and the Golden Budha Corporation appeal the district court's judgment determining that the Republic of the Philippines is entitled to possession of certain property that Imelda and Ferdinand Marcos brought to the United States when they fled the Philippines. Although Roxas and Golden Budha challenge the district court's award of the res to the Philippines, they do not challenge the court's determination that they have no claim to the stake. Appellants have no cognizable interests to vindicate on appeal. Bryant v. Technical Research Co., 654 F.2d 1337, 1343 (9th Cir. 1981) (on appeal " [a] party may only ... protect its 'own interests,' not those of any other party"). We dismiss for lack of standing.

DISMISSED.
