Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a suit seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief is rendered moot on appeal if the plaintiff remains negatively impacted by the laws at issue but the nature of the injury or capacity in which she maintains standing differs from when the suit was initiated

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. Whether a suit seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief is rendered moot on appeal if the plaintiff remains negatively impacted by the laws at issue but the nature of the injury or capacity in which she maintains standing differs from when the suit was initiated. II. Whether the Fourth Circuit’s decision to vacate its prior opinion in Hirschfeld I due to mootness was the equitable relief most consonant with justice when, arguendo, mootness came as a direct consequence of the laws at issue and such laws were held to facially violate the Second Amendment.
