On October 4, 20 II, Plaintiff Michael Blaylock moved the court to enjoin his transfer
from Arthur Kill Correctional Facility to Mid-State Correctional Facility. (Docket Entry# 55.)
On October 18,2011, the court received a letter from Blaylock, dated October 13,2011, in
which he stated that he had already been transferred to Mid-State Correctional Facility. (The
letter is not yet docketed.) Blaylock's October 4, 2011 motion is therefore DENIED as moot.
Blaylock may be entitled to amend his Complaint to raise new claims relating to the
events that led to his October 4, 2011 motion. However, Blaylock is cautioned that he is
required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act to exhaust any available administrative remedies
before doing so. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a).
SO ORDERED.
