Supreme Court of the United States / October Term 2023

FBI v. Fikre

Decided March 19, 2024. Neil M. Gorsuch delivered the opinion of the Court.

Docket 22-1178 · 601 U.S. 234 · Cited 50 times

Holding

The Government failed to meet its burden to demonstrate that Mr. Fikre’s removal from the Government’s No Fly List mooted his 42 U. S. C. §1983 case because its declaration did not disclose the conduct that landed Mr. Fikre on the No Fly List and did not ensure that he would not be placed back on the list for engaging in the same or similar conduct in the future.
