How courts have described this case

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

• holding that claim for nominal damages was not moot even though claims for injunctive relief were moot
• concluding that although a request for injunctive relief was properly dismissed as moot, “the district court erred in dismissing the nominal damages claim which relates to past (not future) conduct”
• ruling that unverified statements in an attorney’s memoranda of law alleging a need for a continuance on a motion for summary judgment pending further discovery were insufficient as grounds for a continuance under Rule 56(f
• stating that “counsel’s unverified assertion in a memorandum opposing summary judgment does not comply with Rule 56(f) and results in a waiver”
• remanding for consideration of nominal damages following dismissal of claims for prospective relief as moot
• reviewing whether the “district court abused its discretion” in the determination that the voluntary cessation of unlawful conduct made the case moot
