United States Seventh Circuit

Temporary restraining order is vacated, but the case as a whole is preserved, where: 1) the court has jurisdiction over the TRO since it was older than 20 days; 2) the TRO became moot after the City instituted new procedures and allowed plaintiff to bid on contracts; and 3) plaintiff's damage claims saved the rest of the case from mootness.
