the statute and their interest in the litigation is merely official, rather than personal. See, e.g., Raines v. Byrd, 521 U.S. 811, 829, 117 S.Ct. 2312, 138 L.Ed.2d 849 (1997); Braxton Cnty. Court v. West Virginia, 208 U.S. 192, 197-98, 28 S.Ct. 275, 52 L.Ed. 450 (1908); Smith v. Indiana, 191 U.S. 138, 149, 24 S.Ct. 51, 48 L.Ed. 125 (1903). Here, by contrast, the Clerks do not challenge the constitutionality of any law in a mere official capacity. They allege that Defendants’ acts or omissions deprived them of fees and interfered with their duties as custodians of property records. That the alleged injuries affect their official duties not does not deprive them of standing. See United States ex rel. Chapman v. Fed. Power Comm’n, 345 U.S. 153, 154-56, 73 S.Ct. 609, 97 L.Ed. 918 (1953) (<HOLDING>). IV. We review de novo a district court’s Rule
