Anderson v. Rehmer

696 F. App'x 536

Opinion

SUMMARY ORDER

Appellant Francis Anderson is currently serving a sentence in a Connecticut prison. He has previously been confined in a Connecticut psychiatric facility and has filed numerous lawsuits. Proceeding pro se, Anderson appeals the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. ’ 1983 complaint because the district court concluded that the only relief sought, a preliminary injunction (sought in the complaint and in a series of motions), had previously been denied. An appeal from the denial of those motions was affirmed. See Anderson v. Rehmer, No. 15-3569 (2d Cir. Dec. 23, 2015). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

We review sua sponte dismissals de novo. See Giano v. Goord, 250 F.3d 146, 149-50 (2d Cir. 2001).

Anderson’s transfer to a new facility prevents him from seeking either injunc-tive or declaratory relief against officials of his prior facility. See Shepherd v. Goord, 662 F.3d 603, 610 (2d Cir. 2011).

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
