Thomas L. Robinson, Appellant, v. John Lattimore, Administrator, et al, 946 F.2d 1566 (D.C. Cir. 1991)
Annotate this CaseBefore SILBERMAN, BUCKLEY and STEPHEN F. WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
Upon consideration of the motion for appointment of counsel and appellees' motion for summary affirmance and the response thereto, it is
ORDERED that the motion for appointment of counsel be denied. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the motion for summary affirmance be granted as to appellant's claims for declaratory and injunctive relief. Because appellant is no longer incarcerated at the Modular Facility, his claims for declaratory and injunctive relief are moot. See Cosgrove v. Smith, 697 F.2d 1125, 1126 n. 1 (D.C. Cir. 1983); Winsett v. McGinnes, 617 F.2d 996, 1003-04 (3d Cir. 1980). It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the district court's dismissal without prejudice of appellant's first amendment claim for damages be vacated and the case remanded for further proceedings. "A suit for damages is not precluded by reason of the plaintiff's membership in a class for which no monetary relief is sought." Norris v. Slothouber, 718 F.2d 1116, 1117 (D.C. Cir. 1983) (citing Crowder v. Lash, 687 F.2d 996, 1007-09 (7th Cir. 1982)).
The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 15.
