CT Freedom Alliance, LLC v. Dept. of Education

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal because repeal of the school mask mandate eliminated any live controversy and left the court unable to provide practical relief. Neither the capable-of-repetition-yet-evading-review exception nor the voluntary-cessation exception applied because recurrence of the challenged governmental actions was speculative and the defendants credibly represented that the mandate had been repealed due to changed pandemic conditions, not to avoid review.
