There are some recent Supreme Court cases showing that these are not moot, and the various circuit courts are each | taking sides as to the mootness. , Question: If the Government and/or corporation ceases to require a pandemic mandate does a complaint for injunction become MOOT, or since the pandemic still exists, other pandemics are being predicted, and Plaintiffs were not given sufficient time to litigate, the cases are NOT MOOT? 3) In order to have standing, the 24 Circuit required that Plaintiff must show that he was denied a job opportunity with the City of New York because of their vaccine mandate.
