On remand from a successful appeal to this court, the district court granted Kriss R. Camp, Texas prisoner # 1734943, in forma pauperis (IFP) status in connection with his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil action challenging the conditions of his confinement, finding that Camp was in imminent danger of serious physical injury due to the spreading COVID-19 pandemic. Camp appeals that ruling, contending that the district courts IFP order either failed to grant IFP status on the additional basis of the conditions of his confinement or failed to also address the merits of his conditions-of-confinement claim.
Because the district court has granted Camp the relief he seeks—leave to pursue his underlying § 1983 claims IFP—his appeal of that ruling is moot, and we therefore dismiss the appeal. The dismissal of Camps appeal similarly renders his motion for leave to appeal IFP moot, and we accordingly deny the motion.
APPEAL DISMISSED AS MOOT; MOTION TO APPEAL IFP DENIED AS MOOT.
