7 Defendants

8 Larry Porchia is an inmate in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections. 9 Porchia was at High Desert State Prison (HDSP) when he filed this lawsuit and moved for a 10 temporary restraining order (TRO) based on allegations that the defendants were deliberately 11 indifferent to his serious medical needs related to his heart condition. ECF Nos. 1; 1-1. 12 However, he has since been moved to Lovelock Correctional Center (LLC). ECF No. 24-1 at 2. 13 The defendants have presented evidence that since Porchia arrived at LLC, he has received 14 medical attention and medications, has been approved for various tests and a cardiology follow 15 up, his blood pressure checks have been normal, and he does not require intensive care. Id. at 2- 16 4. Porchia has not filed a reply, and thus has not disputed that evidence. Accordingly, there is 17 no need for an injunction because even if Porchia faced a likelihood of irreparable harm when he 18 filed his motion, he does not now. See Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc.,
