Garcia v. Hobbs

(1) Whether this court has appellate jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1253 over the order of the three-judge district court empaneled under 28 U.S.C. § 2284 that dismissed as moot an equal protection challenge to Washington State House Legislative District 15, when that dismissal had the practical, literal effect of denying the requested injunction; and (2) whether a majority of the three-judge district court erred in finding this case moot because of the one-judge district court decision enjoining Legislative District 15, which is currently in dispute in a separate appeal, when it remains an open question whether appellant and others will continue to be illegally racially sorted under either old or new district lines.
