Illinois v. Sequoia Books, Inc.

How later courts describe this case

• refusing to enjoin a social service agency's calculation of food stamp eligibility after the agency changed its practice to comply with federal regulations because "[t]here was simply no ongoing violation ... to enjoin"
• striking down an order that the state give notice to class members about the possibility of wrongfully withheld food stamps because there was “no other appropriate prospective relief to which notice relief could be ancillary”
• “[H]ow ironic it would be if the child molester could use the trauma inflicted on his victim as the fulcrum for levering his way to freedom.”
