United States Ninth Circuit
Hamamoto v. Ige, 15-15572
Affirming the district court's dismissal of the plaintiff's complaint that the temporary appointment of the then-Lieutenant governor as the US senator for Hawaii violated the Seventeenth Amendment because a vacancy election held after the filing of the complaint rendered it moot and the 'capable of repetition, yet evading review' exception did not apply.
