1Opinion of the Court
WIENER, Circuit Judge:
For the second time, this court is asked to resolve the continuing dispute between Vieux Carre Property Owners, Residents and Associates, Inc. (Vieux Carre), an historic building preservation group, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) over the construction of a riverside park in New Orleans. In this appeal, Vieux Carre urges us to overrule the district court’s decision on remand dismissing Vieux Carre’s suit on various grounds of mootness. We agree with Vieux Carre that in finding the case moot the district court violated the “law of the case”…
