PER CURIAM. This appeal from an order of the district court dismissing plaintiff’s
complaint for failure to state a claim is before us in an unusual posture. Proceeding pro se, inmate
Jessie Conway filed suit against several governmental entities and individuals involved in the
criminal justice system of Fayette County, Kentucky. The complaint alleges that defendants violated
a number of plaintiff’s (and other inmates’) constitutional rights. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A,
the district court screened the complaint and dismissed it without prejudice before service was made

upon any of the defendants. Accordingly, only Mr. Conway is a party to this appeal.
During oral argument, appointed counsel informed the court that Mr. Conway is no longer
in custody and that, despite the best efforts of his firm and the clerk of this court, efforts to locate
him have been futile. Under the circumstances, we conclude that the appeal should be dismissed.
Because the district court dismissed the complaint without prejudice, should plaintiff reappear, there
appears to be nothing to prevent him from re-filing his complaint so long as he complies with the
requisite statute of limitations.
The judgment is affirmed.
