Doc. 36. On August 1, 2022, Diamond was released and is no longer in the custody of the GDC or Coastal State Prison. Doc. 158-2. An inmate’s release from prison moots claims for injunctive and declaratory relief. Zatler v. Wainwright,

(11th Cir. 1986). With Diamond paroled, the defendants now move to dismiss Diamond’s claims for declaratory and injunctive relief on mootness grounds. Doc. 158. Diamond agrees her claims for declaratory and injunctive relief are now moot and does not oppose dismissal. Doc. 159. Accordingly, the defendants’ motion (Doc. 158) is GRANTED. Diamond’s claims for declaratory and injunctive relief are DISMISSED without prejudice. Only Diamond’s claims for money damages remain.1 In a separate motion, the defendants also request relief from the bi-weekly reporting obligation established by the Court’s order dated March 28, 2022.
