Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at

                                            2
PER CURIAM:

       Kevin Herriott, a South Carolina inmate, appeals the district court’s order

accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and denying his motion for a

preliminary injunction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1) (2012) (providing that denial of

preliminary injunction is immediately appealable interlocutory order). “[A]s a general

rule, a prisoner’s transfer or release from a particular prison moots his claims for

injunctive and declaratory relief with respect to his incarceration there.” Rendelman v.

Rouse, 569 F.3d 182, 186 (4th Cir. 2009). Because Herriott no longer resides at the

correctional institution where the events underlying his motion occurred, we dismiss the

appeal as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

                                                                           DISMISSED
