CERTIORARI -- SUMMARY DISPOSITIONS

05-809 ADAMS, WARDEN V. ZAMORA, JAVIER

The motion of respondent for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for further consideration in light of Whorton v. Bockting, 549 U. S. ____ (2007).

06-595 HARPER, TYLER C., ET AL. V. POWAY SCHOOL DISTRICT, ET AL.

The motion of Kelsie J. Harper for leave to intervene is denied. Petitioner seeks review of the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed the district court’s denial of petitioner’s motion for a preliminary injunction. The district court, however, has now entered final judgment dismissing petitioner’s claims for injunctive relief as moot. We have previously dismissed interlocutory appeals from the denials of motions for temporary injunctions once final judgment has been entered. See Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Kuykendall, 265 U. S. 196, 205-206 (1924); Shaffer v. Carter, 252 U. S. 37, 44 (1920). In this case, vacatur of the prior judgment is also appropriate to "'clea[r] the path for future relitigation of the issues between the parties and [to] eliminat[e] a judgment, review of which was prevented through happenstance.'" Anderson v. Green, 513 U. S. 557, 560 (1995) (per curiam) (quoting United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U. S. 36, 40 (1950)) (alterations in original). The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit with instructions to dismiss the appeal as moot. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., supra. Reported below: 445 F. 3d 1166. Justice Breyer dissents.

06-8851 POTEATE, MARY E. V. CALIFORNIA

The motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted. The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeal of California, First Appellate District for further consideration in light of Cunningham v. California, 549 U. S. ___ (2007).
