OPINION
REINHARDT, Circuit Judge:
A decedent’s estate and widow petitioned the district court for a writ of error coram nobis. They sought an order vacating the decedent’s convictions, contending that they were obtained without proof as to an essential element. The district court denied the petition, concluding that the petitioners lacked standing because the right to coram nobis relief belongs only to the wrongfully convicted individual, and that even if they were found to have standing, they failed to meet the requirements for such relief. We affirm on the ground of lack of jurisdiction.
