Description

This is an appeal arising from a final judgment in a prisoner civil rights suit brought by Jacob Amar under 42 U.S.C. 1983. After a jury found in favor of the defendants, the magistrate Judge awarded costs against Amar. Defendants, John P. Whitley, the warden of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Lieutenant David Ross, Sergeants Joseph R. Hooker and Richard Slayter, Corrections Officers at the prison, moved for a writ of sequestration to prevent Amar from depleting his prison "bank" account before the defendants could collect on the courts award of costs in this case. The magistrate Judge denied such motion and Defendants appealed from that denial. Because the defendants were thereafter successful in obtaining payment of the $55.70 in costs awarded against Amar, no case or controversy exists and, therefore, we DISMISS this appeal as moot.
