“Yancy [and another case], while not focusing on vacatur, unambiguously hold that Oregon courts are without jurisdiction to decide moot cases.”
“If, because of changed circumstances, a decision no longer will have a practical effect on or concerning the rights of the parties, the case is moot and will be dismissed.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.)
