No. C 13-0207 CRB (PR)
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
(Docket # 4)
11
12
While plaintiff was detained at the Alameda County Jail in Dublin,
13
California, he filed the instant action for injunctive relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983
14
seeking “a proper diet” and “music that does not contain hypnotic sexual
15
suggestion.” But he recently informed the court that he is no longer incarcerated.
16
Plaintiff’s action for injunctive relief will be dismissed as moot because it
17
is well-established that when an inmate is released from prison (or transferred to
18
another prison) and, as is the case here, there is no reasonable expectation or
19
demonstrated probability that he will again be subjected to the prison conditions
20
from which he seeks injunctive relief, the claim for injunctive relief should be
21
dismissed as moot. See Dilley v. Gunn, 64 F.3d 1365, 1368-69 (9th Cir. 1995).
22
The clerk shall enter judgment in accordance with this order and close the
23
file. But based solely on his affidavit of poverty, plaintiff’s request to proceed in
24
forma pauperis (docket #) 4) is granted.
25
SO ORDERED.
