Supreme Court of the United States

City News & Novelty, Inc. v. City of Waukesha

January 17, 2001531 U.S. 278

Summary

The Court dismissed the writ of certiorari as moot because City News ceased operations and no longer sought a license, leaving no live controversy. The Court distinguished this case from Erie v. Pap’s A.M. because City News withdrew as a loser rather than to shield a favorable judgment.
