Kidd v. Thaler
Opinion
Carlos Kidd, Texas prisoner # 1079464, filed a civil action, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging threats to his life and safety on the Gib Lewis Unit. He now appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for a mandatory injunction. During the pendency of this interlocutory appeal, the district court dismissed Kidd’s § 1983 action. The court’s dismissal of Kidd’s § 1983 action as well as Kidd’s transfer from the Gib Lewis Unit render his instant interlocutory appeal moot. See 11A Charles Alan Wright et al., Federal Practice & Procedure § 2947 at 126 n. 19 (2d ed.1995) (citing Venezia v. Robinson, 16 F.3d 209, 211 (7th Cir.1994)); Herman v. Holiday, 238 F.3d 660, 665 (5th Cir.2001).
Accordingly, Kidd’s interlocutory appeal, which challenges only the denial of injunc-tive relief, is DISMISSED.
