The following excerpt is from Deshawn E. by Charlotte E. v. Safir, 156 F.3d 340 (2nd Cir. 1998):
Similarly, an issue was raised as to whether the case was moot because the named representatives were already interrogated and therefore they would receive no benefit from the prospective remedy sought here. Cf. Fox v. Board of Trustees of State Univ. of New York, 42 F.3d 135, 140 (2d Cir.1994) (students' claim for declaratory and injunctive relief moot because plaintiffs, an uncertified class, were no longer enrolled at school and would not benefit from the relief sought).
