The respondent's request for certification as class action on behalf "all prisoners who are or will become eligible release parole," and granted summary judgment merits. Respondent was released prison while his appeal to Appeals pending, but that court held this did not render case moot, went hold, with respect question whether had erroneously certification, would be inappropriate, since problems overbroad classes potential conflict interest between respondent other members putative could remedied by mechanism subclasses. Accordingly, reversed denial remanded an initial evaluation sua sponte proper Held: An does moot upon expiration named plaintiff's substantive claim, even though has been denied, proposed representative retains "personal stake" obtaining sufficient assure Art.
