1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal marks the latest chapter in what has become a crusade: the unremitting effort of plaintiff-appellee Celso Lopez Lopez (Lopez), a native Puerto Rican, to eliminate, or at least curtail, the operations of certain checkpoints established by the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) at the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico. 1 Because we believe that the district court should have closed the book on this case sooner rather than later, we reverse the grant of equitable relief.
