Opinion

Elvis Wayne Jones appeals the district courts order dismissing without prejudice his civil action for failure to comply with the district courts prior order to submit an amended 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint and statutory filing fee or in forma pauperis application within the allotted time. Before this appeal was filed, Jones submitted to the district court an amended § 1983 complaint and a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Because Jones now has complied with the district courts prior order and the district court will obtain jurisdiction to review the filings upon disposition of this appeal, we conclude there is no relief Jones could obtain by way of this appeal, and we dismiss the appeal as moot. See CVLR Performance Horses, Inc. v. Wynne, 792 F.3d 469, 474 (4th Cir. 2015) (“Litigation may become moot during the pendency of an appeal when an intervening event makes it impossible for the court to grant effective relief to the prevailing party.”). We further deny Jones’ motions for federal transit extension, summary judgment, default judgment, and injunctive relief pending appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
