Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Mootness
Plaintiff, who is transgender, sought preliminary injunction for unrestricted use of the girls' locker room for her last semester of high school. Court properly denied motion as moot, as Plaintiff graduated from high school in May 2018. Resolution of Plaintiff's underlying case on the merits (pending federal and state court actions) will answer the question of how the Illinois Human Rights Act applies to transgender students' rights as to school locker rooms. Plaintiff has not made a clear showing that the material facts are likely to occur, and cannot satisfy the criteria for the public interest exception to mootness. (ROCHFORD, specially concurring; REYES, specially concurring.)
