the Supreme Court in Board of School Commissioners v. Jacobs, 420 U.S. 128, 95 S.Ct. 848, 43 L.Ed.2d 74 (1975), held that for an order to constitute a class certification sufficient to protect a case from mootness, the order must, at a minimum, define the class. 420 U.S. at 130, 95 S.Ct. 848. As [the Browns'] appellee counsel themselves concede (Letter Brief at 2) even the implied [class] certification cases on which they rely require that the court's orders define or identify the class. See, e.g., Doe, 261 F.3d at 1051; Navarro-Ayala, 951 F.2d at 1334-35; Senter, 532 F.2d at 523; Bing, 485 F.2d at 447-48.
