Mahendran Mahadevan, D.V.M., ph.D., M.B.A. v. Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas System; University of…

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Mahadevan’s complaint because the injunctive relief he sought became unavailable after UAMS terminated his employment, leaving no live controversy. The court also declined to consider mootness exceptions and held that Mahadevan abandoned his declaratory-judgment claim by failing to argue that it overcame sovereign immunity.
