   OPINION

PER CURIAM

Solange Chadda appeals from a District Court order granting Appellees’ motions to dismiss her complaint. Appellees move this Court to summarily affirm the District Court’s order. Because no substantial question is presented, we will grant Appellees’ motions and affirm the order of the District Court. L.A.R. 27.4.

On September 8, 2004, Chadda filed a complaint which is largely unintelligible. Even after considering the complaint and two amended versions, the District Court could not discern the basis of the suit. In dismissing for lack of standing, failure to state a claim, and other reasons, it stated the filings “consist of what appears to be paranoid, delusional rantings against the Defendants and the current administration.” Chadda v. Gillespie, No. 04-4207, slip op. at 2 (E.D.Pa. Feb.24, 2005). Chadda appealed and the Appellees moved for summary affirmance. Chadda responded. The motions are ripe for review.

We must first address whether Chadda has standing to sue. See Storino v. Borough of Point Pleasant Beach, 322 F.3d 293, 296 (3d Cir.2003). To have standing, a plaintiff must establish (1) an injury in faet-i.e., an invasion that is “concrete and particularized, ... not hypothetical and conjectural”; (2) “a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of’; and (3) the injury must be redressable. Id. (citations omitted).

We agree with the District Court that Chadda lacks standing. We can piece together no more than a conjectural abstract injury from Chadda’s pleadings. It appears that Chadda believes the current administration stole her land and mineral rights, but she identifies no specific asset or incident. She also presents a vague First Amendment claim, but it is left to the imagination how her rights were violated. Accordingly, her abstract and hypothetical injuries cannot amount to an injury in fact.

For the foregoing reasons, no substantial question is presented and we will grant Appellees’ motions and affirm the District Court’s order dismissing the complaint.
