U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-2569
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Pine Bluff
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Wollman and Stras, Circuit Judges]
Prisoner case - Prisoner civil rights. In action alleging defendants had
denied plaintiff's civil rights by denying her hormone therapy to treat
her diagnosed gender dysphoria, defendants' counsel informed this court at
oral argument that plaintiff had been receiving hormone therapy for
several months; the court then ordered further briefing as to whether the
matter was moot and, after reviewing these supplemental findings, now
determines that plaintiff's request for injunctive relief in the form of
hormone therapy is moot; the district court's judgment on the hormone
therapy claim is vacated and remanded with directions to dismiss it as
moot; in all other respects, the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's
action is affirmed.
