See Kohler v. Southland Foods, Inc., 459 F. App’x 617, 618 (9th Cir. 2011) (“[ADA] claims for prospective injunctive relief became moot once the [public accommodation] ceased operation.”); Ecological Rights Found. v. Pac. Lumber Co., 230 F.3d 1141, 1153 (9th Cir. 2000) (“An action becomes moot if the controversy is no longer live because an event occurs that precludes the court from ordering effective relief.”). IT IS SO ORDERED.
