UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA SHREVEPORT DIVISION JOE THOMAS VALLEJO #193724 CIVIL ACTION NO. 21-cv-147 SEC P VERSUS CHIEF JUDGE HICKS JULLIAN WHITTINGTON ET AL MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY

MEMORANDUM ORDER Plaintiff's Motion for Answer (Doc. 13) is denied. Plaintiffs case is still under review by the court as part of a screening process that is applied in all similar cases. The defendants are not required to answer until that process is completed and, if ordered by the court, they are served with the complaint. Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 9) is denied as moot. The motion expressed concern about overcrowding and conditions in Bossier Max. Plaintiff has since notified the court (Doc. 12.) that he is now housed in Bossier Medium, which is a different facility. An inmate’s transfer to another facility “render[s] his claims for declaratory and injunctive relief moot.” Herman v. Holiday,

(5th Cir. 2001); Cooper v. Sheriff, Lubbock County,

(Sth Cir. 1991). THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Shreveport, Louisiana, this 11th day of March, 2022. =| Mark L. Hornsby U.S. Magistrate Judge
