WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Justin Robert Escalera,

Plaintiff,

v. 

Corizon Health Incorporated, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-19-04934-PHX-MTL (JFM)

ORDER 

Plaintiff filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action alleging deliberate 

indifference to his serious medical needs. He filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction 

with his Complaint seeking a Bi-PAP machine to treat his obstructive sleep apnea (Doc. 2 

at 13). In his reply, however, Plaintiff confirms that he received the Bi-PAP machine in 

November 2019 (Doc. 13 at 10). His request for injunctive relief is therefore moot. 

Shabazz v. Giurbino, 2017 WL 2671082, *12 (E.D. Cal. June 21, 2017) (finding request 

for injunctive relief moot where the plaintiff received a form of the relief he requested). 

To the extent that Plaintiff maintains he is entitled to damages because of the 

suffering he experienced by the delay in receiving the mask, that is beyond the scope of 

his preliminary injunctive relief request and will be addressed when the Court considers 

the merits of his claims.1

///

1 Plaintiff also claims that he must receive a device to clean hi Bi-Pap machine (Doc. 15 

at 13-14). But the Court will not consider that at this time because it was not part of 

Plaintiff’s original motion for injunctive relief and there is no basis to conclude at this 

time that he will suffer imminent, irreparable injury without a cleaning device.
