This is an appeal from the dismissal of the remaining claim in a pro se civil rights complaint. Although Mr. Horne raises issues on matters other than the order of dismissal dated May 20, 1997, our appellate jurisdiction is circumscribed to the contents of the notice of appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 3(c) (the notice of appeal must designate the order appealed from). Inasmuch as the notice filed by Mr. Horne designates the order of May 20 as the order appealed from, we have no jurisdiction over matters beyond that order.

The district court's order is predicated upon a finding that the only issue remaining in Mr. Horne's complaint after previous rulings of the court was a request for injunctive relief from conditions in an institution to which Mr. Horne was no longer confined. The court properly reasoned that request was moot. Preiser v. Newkirk, 422 U.S. 395, 401 (1975). The dismissal was not erroneous because no justiciable controversy remained to be litigated.

AFFIRMED.

ENTERED FOR THE COURT
