ERICK LAWSON, Lyle W. Cayce
Clerk
Plaintiff–Appellant
v.
WILLIAM STEPHENS, Individually and in his/her official capacity;

Defendants–Appellees
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
USDC No. 1:16-CV-104
Before JOLLY, ELROD, and WILLETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Since the district court has granted Lawson’s motion for reconsideration,
which it construed as a motion to alter or amend a judgment pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e), the appeal is moot. Thus, we REMAND
the case in full for further proceedings.
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.
