Burgos, supra 7-9. As such, the Court, in Baynard, went on to analyze the propriety of the plaintiffs’ claim, in that case, as follows: [I]n the present case, the question is whether the harm that Plaintiffs allege — deprivation of their parental rights — amounts to a direct injury, which is cognizable, or an incidental injury, which is not cognizable.
