2 Opinion of the Court 25-12517

PER CURIAM: Jamal Allen, pro se, appeals from the district court’s June 24, 2025, order denying his motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. That motion sought to enjoin Appel- lees from arresting Allen under an arrest warrant issued in Baldwin County, Alabama. We issued a jurisdictional question asking the parties whether this appeal is now moot. As Allen acknowledged in both the district court and on ap- peal, he has since been arrested under the warrant and is now in ongoing criminal proceedings. His arrest mooted this appeal. See Brooks v. Ga. State Bd. of Elections, 59 F.3d 1114, 1118-19 (11th Cir. 1995) (explaining that an issue is moot when it no longer presents a live controversy with respect to which we can give effectual re- lief); Birmingham Fire Fighters Ass’n 117 v. City of Birmingham, 603 F.3d 1248, 1254 (11th Cir. 2010) (explaining that even if an order is immediately appealable as an injunction when entered, interven- ing events can nevertheless moot the appeal). Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED as moot. All pend- ing motions are DENIED as moot.
