Case Explained: Summary Calendar Gavin Blake Davis Petitioner— v. Gina Faubion, Officer, U.S. Pretrial Services; Karla Ramos, Officer U.S. Pretrial Services Respondents—

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Filed: 2026-06-23 The fifth-circuit dismissed the appeal as moot because the petitioner, a federal prisoner, has already been convicted and sentenced to 155 months of imprisonment. The court applied the standard that an issue regarding the appointment of a new pretrial services officer as a reasonable accommodation under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is no longer live once the underlying pretrial status has ended due to conviction and sentencing, citing *Yohey v. Collins*. Consequently, the district court’s dismissal of the petition was affirmed, and the petitioner’s motion for appointment of counsel was denied.
