Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• explaining that although the appellant “was not successful in the present action in getting an injunction, this does not mean that upon the proper evidentiary showing actions such as these are inherently capable of evading review”
• dismissing a claim for injunctive relief as moot where the relief would not “ease or correct the alleged wrong.”
• refusing to consider “imagined possibilities beyond those requested in the complaint” (quoting , 151 F.3d 186, 190 (5th Cir. 1998)
• finding the request for declaratory relief moot because “[g]ranting this relief would not affect the rights of the parties
• noting that a party’s ability to “seek a stay or injunction pending appeal to halt [the occurrence of the challenged event] while the appeal is fully considered” may allow for full judicial review of an issue even if it typically gets resolved within a “limited span of time”
• “[T]his court may not fashion relief not requested below in order to keep a suit viable.”
