Before HIGGINBOTHAM, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: **
Jonas Malm appeals the district court‘s denial of his motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction. In his motion, Malm sought to restrain Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) from involving itself in his then-pending immigration case. He also requested that the district court order CCA to provide him with immigration statutes and to not retaliate against or harass him.
Malm was released from CCA custody while this appeal was pending. Accordingly, to the extent that he seeks injunctive relief or specific performance to remedy his conditions of confinement, his claims are moot. See Herman v. Holiday, 238 F.3d 660, 665 (5th Cir.2001). Additionally, we lack jurisdiction to consider Malm‘s challenge to the denial of his request for a TRO. See Faulder v. Johnson, 178 F.3d 741, 742 (5th Cir.1999).
As Malm‘s appeal is now moot, it must be DISMISSED for want of jurisdiction.
