Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1654, do minors have pro se rights that can be asserted by their parents on their behalf based on a parent's fundamental right to control their child's legal claims?

2. Does the mootness doctrine bar adjudication of a claim brought by a parent when the claim of her minor daughter in the same action terminates by virtue of mootness?
