Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the standing analysis for Privacy Act improper disclosure claims requires determining if the plaintiff sufficiently alleged an "adverse effect" to satisfy traceability, as recognized by previous decisions of this Court, as opposed to requiring allegations of a "command" or "compulsion." If so, does a plaintiff demonstrate that adverse effect by alleging that the government's improper disclosures produced a determinative or coercive effect on a third party who refuses to do business with the plaintiff?
