First Circuit -- American Civil Liberties Union v. United States Conference

Establishment Clause challenge to HHS funds to sectarian relief group.

Moot, as contract is up, new contract made, and no relief is possible.

Not voluntary cessation, as there was a reason unrelated to the litigation.

Not capable/evading, as the exception is too narrow to capture this case.
