Before: CANBY, BEA, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
California state prisoner Joseph Becker appeals pro se from the district
court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action seeking to enjoin his
transfer to Sierra Conservation Camp State Prison. We dismiss.
After filing this appeal, Becker was transferred to Corcoran State Prison.
Therefore, we dismiss Becker’s appeal as moot. See Nelson v. Heiss, 271 F.3d
891, 897 (9th Cir. 2001) (“[W]hen a prisoner is moved from a prison, his action
will usually become moot as to conditions at that particular facility.”); Johnson v.
Moore, 948 F.2d 517, 519 (9th Cir. 1991) (per curiam) (prisoner’s claims were
moot when prisoner was transferred and demonstrated no reasonable expectation of
returning to that prison).
DISMISSED.
