IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA SOUTHERN DIVISION
JAMES L. ROBINSON, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) CASE NO. 1:20-CV-40-WKW ) [WO] MARK CULVER, et al., ) ) Defendants. )
ORDER Before the court is Plaintiff James L. Robinson’s motion for a preliminary injunction challenging the conditions of his confinement at the Houston County Jail. Mr. Robinson alleges that Defendants’ failure to provide him appropriate meals to maintain his health as a diabetic subjects him to potential serious injury and death. (Doc. # 23.) Because Mr. Robinson now has been released from the Houston County Jail (see Doc. # 29), his motion for a preliminary injunction is moot. See McKinnon v. Talladega Cty., Ala., 745 F.2d 1360, 1363 (11th Cir. 1984) (“The general rule is that a prisoner’s transfer or release from a jail moots his individual claim for declaratory and injunctive relief.”). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. # 23) is DENIED as moot. DONE this 16th day of June, 2020. /s/ W. Keith Watkins UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
