Text: In the third and final series of summary judgment motions, the district court addressed the requests for prospective declaratory and injunctive relief. For the purposes of determining whether injunctive relief was appropriate, the court assumed that the real estate transactions violated the SIF's governing statutes. The court noted that the claim for injunctive relief was not based on any present or threatened actions by the SIF, citing O'Boskey v. First Fed. Sav. & Loan Assoc., 112 Idaho 1002, 1007, 739 P.2d 301, 306 (1987) for the proposition that, [w]here the conduct causing injury has been discontinued, the dispute is moot and the injunction should be denied. In light of the fact that SIF's statutory structure had changed since 1998, and that there was no evidence that the SIF would engage in similar transactions in the future, the district court determined that there was no basis for injunctive relief. Consequently, the request for a declaratory judgment was moot. The district court granted the SIF's motion for summary judgment on the claims for declaratory and injunctive relief.
