(Id.) 24 On February 4, 2021, Plaintiff’s address was updated pursuant to a Notice of Change of 25 Address filed in Case No. 1:19-cv-01329-HBK (Doc. No. 27). The Court takes judicial notice of 26 that filing, which indicates that Plaintiff is now receiving mail at a P.O. Box not associated with a 27 federal correctional institution. 28 /// 1 As it appears Plaintiff has been released from custody, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s 2 pending motions related to his requests for emergency release from custody are now moot. To 3 the extent Plaintiff is reincarcerated, the motions are denied without prejudice to re-filing. The 4 Court will screen Plaintiff’s complaint in due course. 5 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 6 1. Plaintiff’s motion for emergency release, (ECF No. 3), is DENIED as moot, without 7 prejudice to re-filing; 8 2. Plaintiff’s first amended emergency motion for expedited preliminary injunction, (ECF 9 No. 11), is DENIED as moot, without prejudice to re-filing; 10 3.
