Angel Christopher Abreu v. Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Utah denied Angel Christopher Abreu's motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction seeking medical examination and shoulder treatment. The court concluded that his transfer from the Salt Lake County Jail to the Utah State Correctional Facility generally mooted his request for injunctive relief against Salt Lake County Jail defendants.

Holdings

1. Plaintiff's transfer from the Salt Lake County Jail to the Utah State Correctional Facility mooted his request for injunctive relief related to medical treatment at the former facility, because the defendants in the action could not provide or compel medical services for him while he was housed at the new facility.

Questions Presented

1. Whether plaintiff's transfer from the Salt Lake County Jail to another correctional facility mooted his request for preliminary injunctive relief concerning medical treatment at the former facility.
