III, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for
Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Douglas Alan Jarvis appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for preliminary injunction. An order
granting or denying injunctive relief is immediately appealable.
28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000). However, “[t]o qualify as a case fit
for federal-court adjudication, an actual controversy must be
extant at all stages of review . . . .” Toms v. Allied Bond &
Collection Agency, Inc., 179 F.3d 103, 105 (4th Cir. 1999)
(quoting Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43,
67 (1997)). Because Jarvis has obtained the relief he sought,
i.e., transfer to a community correctional center, we dismiss
this appeal as moot. We grant Jarvis’ motions to amend his
informal brief and also deny as moot his motion to expedite.
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.
DISMISSED
