Despite taking supplemental briefing from the parties on Article III standing in Frank v. Gaos, #SCOTUS ducks and remands the case to the Ninth Circuit to resolve the standing issue in the first instance:

supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
To me, this is the right result procedurally. It would've been problematic for the Justices to reach a potentially major question of Article III standing that was only addressed in post-argument, supplemental briefs by the parties.

Now, this issue can be properly litigated...
At the same time, as @dispositive points out, this is now the _third_ time that the Court has considered (and punted on) this exact standing question, including First American Financial v. Edwards (2012) and Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins (2016).
