2 sentences

2022Morrison v. Sebelius, 285 Kan. 875, 896 , 179 P.3d 366 (2008). "[B]efore a court may dismiss a case as moot, it must conclude that the requested relief would not have an impact on the appellant's rights." State v. Roat, 311 Kan. 581 , 593, 466 P.3d 439 (2020).

2020It said, "As part of the Kansas case-or-controversy requirement, courts require: (a) parties must have standing; (b) issues cannot be moot; (c) issues must be ripe, having taken fixed and final shape rather than remaining nebulous and contingent; and (d) issues cannot present a political question." (Emphasis added.) 285 Kan. at 896 . 8 This court has cited Sebelius a number of times for the notion that there is no case or controversy when an issue is moot.
