Id., citing, e.g., Spomer v. Littleton, 414 U.S. 514, 520-22, 94 S.Ct. 685, 688-89, 38 L.Ed.2d 694 (1974) (in light of subsequent election of a different state's attorney, case vacated and remanded for a determination of whether former dispute is now moot and whether plaintiffs may amend their complaint to add claims against the new state's attorney).
