          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Texas
                       USDC No. 1:04-CV-739
                       --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Travers Earl Crumpton, Texas inmate # 675506, appeals the

district court’s dismissal as moot of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

complaint challenging conditions of confinement at the Texas

Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Segovia Unit and other TDCJ



     *
       Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
                           No. 05-51044
                                -2-

facilities.   Crumpton argues that the district court should have

certified the lawsuit as a class action.

     The denial of Crumpton’s motion for certification as a

class action was within the discretion of the district court.

See Pederson v. Louisiana State University, 213 F.3d 858, 866

(5th Cir. 2000).   As Crumpton is no longer incarcerated at the

Segovia Unit or another allegedly inadequate TDCJ facility

identified in his lawsuit, his claims are moot.   See Oliver v.

Scott, 276 F.3d 736, 741 (5th Cir. 2002); Herman v. Holiday,

238 F.3d 660, 665 (5th Cir. 2001).   We do not address Crumpton’s

argument concerning monetary damages because Crumpton did not

request monetary damages in the district court.   See Greenberg v.

Crossroads Sys., Inc., 364 F.3d 657, 669 (5th Cir. 2004).

     AFFIRMED.
