VI - CONCLUSION

Plaintiffs have standing to present a controversy which remains alive and vital and in which substantial relief is sought.

The issues in this case are important to these plaintiffs and important to the constitutional rights of many persons subject to the unlawful conduct of the defendants. The motion to dismiss should be denied.
