““While there is some dispute as to the proper standard for finding mootness when the defendant has discontinued the challenged acts, ‘the test of mootness is whether the defendant can demonstrate that there is no reasonable expectation that the wrong will be repeated.’ * * * As the commentators state, the prediction of possible recurrence of the challenged activity is often difficult and must to some degree depend on ‘individualized judgment and intuition.' * * * However, in the area of official action, courts have been more receptive to declarations that abandoned illegal policies will not be reinstated particularly when, as in this case, the challenged policy is terminated altogether and not just its application in particular circumstances.” Id. at 779 (citations omitted).”
