FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUN 28 2011 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT GARY SOLOMON, No. 10-17663 Plaintiff - Appellant, D.C. No. 2:10-cv-00841-PMP-PAL v. MEMORANDUM * BANK OF AMERICA HOME LOANS; et al., Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Philip M. Pro, District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 15, 2011 ** Before: CANBY, O’SCANNLAIN and TALLMAN, Circuit Judges. Plaintiff-appellant Gary Solomon appeals the district court’s denial of his request for preliminary injunctive relief against defendants-appellees. Our * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). jurisdiction is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We dismiss the appeal as moot. The district court denied Solomon’s request for a preliminary injunction seeking to stay foreclosure proceedings. After Solomon filed this appeal, the district court issued a final judgment dismissing the underlying action against all defendants. We determine questions of mootness in light of the present circumstances. Mitchell v. Dupnik, 75 F.3d 517, 528 (9th Cir. 1996). Because the facts and circumstances supporting the preliminary injunction application have materially changed, we cannot grant the requested relief. Doe and Associates Law Offices v. Napolitano, 252 F.3d 1026, 1029 (9th Cir. 2001) (holding that dismissal of underlying action renders moot the district court’s denial of preliminary injunctive relief). Accordingly, this appeal is moot. DISMISSED. 2 10-17663
