The following excerpt is from Jarvis v. Regan, 833 F.2d 149 (9th Cir. 1987):
We need not address the merits of the appellants' first amendment claim because, under the facts of this case, their claim for injunctive relief is moot. A cause of action becomes moot " 'when the issues presented are no longer "live" or the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome.' " Murphy v. Hunt, 455 U.S. 478, 481, 102 S.Ct. 1181, 1183, 71 L.Ed.2d
