Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
David L. Carter, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
David Carter appeals the district court order and judgment
summarily dismissing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000)
action. After reviewing the record, we find Carter failed to state
a claim for relief. We further find his transfer to another
institution has mooted any request for injunctive or declaratory
relief. Accordingly, while we grant Carter leave to proceed in
forma pauperis, we affirm the district court’s order and judgment.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
