Supreme Court of the United States

United States v. Juvenile Male

June 27, 2011564 U.S. 932

Summary

The Court concluded it had no authority to review the Ninth Circuit's judgment because the case was moot, as the respondent was no longer subject to the registration conditions due to the expiration of his juvenile supervision. The Court held that the Montana registration duty was independent of the federal order, and the "capable of repetition" exception did not apply.

Holding

  • Whether the Court of Appeals had authority to decide the case. The Court of Appeals lacked authority because there was no live controversy
