Is there any reason why plaintiff Blanchard is seeking injunctive relief for medical malpractice?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Blanchard v. Cnty. of San Diego, Case No.: 16-cv-1783-BAS-AGS (S.D. Cal. 2017):

Blanchard seeks a wide-ranging injunction aimed at preventing further "deliberate indifference to inmates['] medical needs," which defendants oppose. Blanchard's "claims for injunctive relief are moot because [he] has been released from custody." See Jones v. Williams, 791 F.3d 1023, 1031 (9th Cir. 2015); (ECF No. 30, at 42, 292 (referencing release from custody)). So, his injunctive-relief claim must fail.
