United States Ninth Circuit

Plaintiffs' suit to enjoin the Secretary of State and Public Records Officer of the State of Washington from releasing the names of people who signed petitions supporting a Washington referendum to overturn State Senate Bill 5688, which expands the rights and responsibilities of state-registered domestic partners, is dismissed as moot where the plaintiffs cannot be granted effective relief because the petitions are already widely available on the internet.
