Anthony Dacre v. Lieutenant Fleming

U.S. Courts of Appeals

Decided November 21, 2012

U.S. Courts of Appeals · decided 2012-11-21

Applies 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Civil Rights Act of 1871 / Section 1983 (Ku Klux Klan Act))

Relies on Commonwealth of Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., Federal Power Commission, Intervenor · Penn-America Insurance v. Mapp

Decided 2012-11-21

¶1 Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

¶2 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

¶3 Anthony Dacre appeals the district court’s order denying his motions for a preliminary injunction, a temporary restraining order (TRO), an extension of time, to amend his complaint, and his petition for a writ of mandamus in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) action. We dismiss the appeal.

¶4 Dacre’s action alleged that, while at Keen Mountain Correctional Center, officers had threatened him; the medical staff had withheld his medication, cane, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation unit; and officials had interfered with Da-cre’s mail. However, because Dacre was transferred from Keen Mountain Correctional Center to Sussex I State Prison following the denial of his motions for preliminary injunctive relief, those requests are now moot. We therefore dismiss his appeal as to the denial of injunctive relief for that reason.

¶5 Dacre also appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for a TRO and his non-dispositive motions. His appeal of these motions is interlocutory because the district court’s order is not a final disposition of Dacre’s claims. See Penn-Am. Ins. Co. v. Mapp, 521 F.3d 290, 294 (4th Cir.2008) (defining final order); Virginia v. Tenneco, Inc., 538 F.2d 1026, 1029 (4th Cir.1976) (stating that, absent exceptional circumstances, TRO order not immediately appealable). Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the appeal.

¶6 We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

¶7 DISMISSED.
