IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEO LERMA,

Plaintiff, CV F 06 0954 OWW WMW P

vs. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION 

 RE MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 

 (DOCUMENT 12)

MACK WIMBISH,

Defendant.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. Pending before the court is

Plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief.

Plaintiff’s motion consists of generalized argument regarding the conditions of his

confinement in general. Plaintiff supports his motion with an affidavit that discusses the conduct

of correctional officials as it relates to inmates in general. Plaintiff fails to specify any conduct

by defendant that he seeks to enjoin. The only named defendant in this action is Sheriff

Wimbish. The only conduct referred to is conduct by correctional officials. Plaintiff is a state

prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983. On [date], plaintiff filed a motion requesting preliminary injunctive relief against staff at

[institution]. Court records indicate that plaintiff is no longer incarcerated at that institution.

incarcerated, his claims for such relief become moot when he is no longer subjected to those

conditions. See Weinstein v. Bradford, 423 U.S. 147 (1975); Enrico's, Inc. v. Rice, 730 F.2d

1250, 1255 (9th Cir. 1984). Accordingly, plaintiff's request[s] should be denied as moot.

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff’s motion for

injunctive relief be denied as moot.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(B). Within

thirty days after being served with these findings and recommendations, Plaintiff may file

written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned “Objections to

Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file

objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court's order. 

Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
