SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO SHOW CAUSE WHY HIS OCTOBER 13, 2016 MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION (DE 3) HAS NOT BEEN RENDERED MOOT BY HIS TRANSFER
ANTHONY P. PATTI, Magistrate Judge.
On October 13, 2016, while incarcerated at the Michigan Department of Correction's (MDOC's) Alger Correctional Facility (LMF) in Munising, Michigan, Jeffrey Lee Bonga (#271635) filed the instant lawsuit against 6 defendants. Therein, Plaintiff identifies Defendant Abdellatif as located at the MDOC's Macomb Correctional Facility (MRF) and Defendants Jordan, Dominguez-Bem, Ploen and Ouellette as located at the MDOC's Lakeland Correctional Facility (LCF). Plaintiff does not provide a location for Defendant Borgerding. (See DE 1 ¶¶ 8-13.)
Judge Cox has referred this case to me for all pretrial proceedings. (DE 9.) Currently before the Court is Plaintiff's October 13, 2016 motion for preliminary injunction, wherein he requests that the Court order "defendants, their agents, employees and others working in concert with them to immediately approve and dispense to Plaintiff the medications: Neuro[n]tins, Ultrams, and Pamelor for the treatment of plaintiff's serious medical needs[,]" such as his vertebrae injuries. (DE 3 at 1, 5.)
At the time Plaintiff filed his motion for injunctive relief, he was incarcerated at LMF. He has since been transferred to the MDOC's St. Louis Correctional Facility (SLF). (DE 10; see also www.michigan.gov/corrections, "Offender Search.") Several opinions from the Sixth Circuit discuss how claims for injunctive relief may be rendered moot by an inmate's transfer from one prison to another. See, i.e., Kensu v. Haigh, 87 F.3d 172, 175 (6
