Appeal from the United States District Court No. 1:22-cv-00843-DAD-BAM for the Eastern District of California Dale A. Drozd, District Judge, Presiding

Before: CLIFTON, R. NELSON, and BRESS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Joseph August Marsala appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his motions for a preliminary injunction in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We dismiss the appeal.

We dismiss this appeal as moot because in November 2022, during the pendency of this appeal, Marsala notified this court that he was transferred to San Quentin State Prison. See Dilley v. Gunn, 64 F.3d 1365, 1368 (9th Cir. 1995) (explaining that a prisoner's transfer to a different state prison moots claims for injunctive relief absent certain exceptions).

The district court is instructed to proceed with screening the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A.

DISMISSED.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
