Appeal from United States District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls [Unpublished] Before SHEPHERD, KELLY, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, South Dakota inmate Joseph Flying Horse appeals the district court's interlocutory order denying his motion for a preliminary injunction.
The Honorable Karen E. Schreier, United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota. --------
After careful review of the record and the parties' arguments on appeal, we conclude that this appeal is moot because the relief Flying Horse sought--an injunction addressing his detention after the expiration of his detainer, as well as issues related to his potential parole revocation--is now moot as his parole was revoked following a hearing. See Bierman v. Dayton, 817 F.3d 1070, 1072 (8th Cir. 2016) (dismissing for lack of jurisdiction where appeal of order denying preliminary injunction became moot because act sought to be enjoined had occurred).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal as moot and deny Flying Horse's pending motion.
