Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Lakeith Amir-Sharif filed the instant § 1983 suit to seek
redress for acts that occurred while he was incarcerated. Amir-
Sharif filed motions for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and

law library. The district court denied the motions and denied
his request to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in this
interlocutory appeal. Amir-Sharif now moves this court for
authorization to proceed IFP on appeal. He also requests
appointed counsel.
We lack jurisdiction to consider Amir-Sharif’s challenge to
the denial of his requests for a TRO. See Faulder v. Johnson,
178 F.3d 741, 742 (5th Cir. 1999). Consequently, Amir-Sharif’s
appeal is DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION to the extent that
he appeals the district court’s denial of his requests for a TRO.
Amir-Sharif’s requests for a preliminary injunction have
been mooted by his release from prison. See Herman v. Holiday,
238 F.3d 660, 665 (5th Cir. 2001). This appeal is DISMISSED AS
MOOT to the extent that Amir-Sharif appeals the district court’s
denial of his requests for a preliminary injunction. All
outstanding motions are DENIED.
