Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 972 F.2d 353 (8th Cir. 1992) Submitted: June 9, 1992. Filed: July 15, 1992

Before JOHN R. GIBSON, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Donald Harden, a Missouri prisoner, brought this civil rights action for declaratory and injunctive relief seeking better conditions in Special Management Facility Level II of the Missouri State Penitentiary (Level II). Holding Harden's action is moot and res judicata, the district court dismissed the action as frivolous under 28 U.S.C § 1915(d). Harden was transferred out of Level II almost three years ago, and he is currently confined in another correctional facility. The district court's ruling on mootness is clearly correct. Martin v. Sargent, 780 F.2d 1334, 1337 (8th Cir. 1985). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
