Brad Livingston, In His Official Capacity As the Executive Director of v. Leslie Arrington, For Herself and On Behalf of All of Those Similarly

This appeal arises from a suit originally brought by four inmates-appellees Leslie Arrington, Janet Lock, Kathy Williams, and Laura Beeman-in their individual capacities and as representatives of a putative class. The district court denied certification but rendered a judgment granting individual plaintiffs injunctive relief and attorneys fees against appellant Livingston. Livingston subsequently filed a notice of appeal identifying the appellees as the four inmates in both their individual and representative capacities. Appellees have filed a motion to withdraw or dismiss Arrington and Williams from this appeal, advising that those parties have been released from prison and that their claims, consequently, are now moot. Appellees also point out that they are not appealing the district court’s order denying class certification and, thus, neither represent nor currently seek to represent unnamed class members. Appellees move that we restyle this appeal to reflect the correct status of the case. Appellant Livingston does not oppose these motions. We will grant these motions, dismiss the appeal as to Arrington and Williams, and restyle this cause as Brad Livingston, in His Official Capacity as the Executive Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice v. Laura Beeman and Janet Lock.
