ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Plaintiff Edward Allen, a prisoner in the custody of the Colorado Department of Corrections, appeals the denial of his motion for a temporary restraining order. Mr. Allen had brought his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit against defendants alleging that their deliberate indifference to his safety violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. As relief he sought mainly permanent injunctive relief, asking for orders “requiring the defendant to transfer the plaintiff back to [a certain facility Mr. Allen considered safe;] ... barring the defendants ... from housing the plaintiff in any private contracted prisons during his incarceration!; and] requiring the defendants ... to completely segregate all convicted sex offenders from gang members in separate facility(s).” R., Doc. 3 at 8. Mr. Allen subsequently filed a motion seeking “a temporary restraining order to move the plaintiff to a facility ... were (sic) Gang Violence is not so prevalat (sic) for his protection, and also order that the defendant be ordered not to transfer the *785plaintiff from said facility during the course of these proceedings.” Id., Doc. 46 at 1. This appeal is from the district court’s denial of that motion.1
We must dismiss this appeal because the district court has entered final judgment in favor of defendants, dismissing Mr. Allen’s complaint and cause of action with prejudice, see id., Doc. 187 at 2,2 and Mr. Allen has appealed that judgment, see id., Doc. 191.3 Thus, the district court’s order denying the request for preliminary injunctive relief while the district court case was pending, has merged with the order dismissing the complaint, given that the complaint sought the same injunctive relief on a permanent basis. Accordingly, this appeal from the order denying temporary injunctive relief must be dismissed. See Shaffer v. Carter, 252 U.S. 37, 44, 40 S.Ct. 221, 64 L.Ed. 445 (1920) (holding that denial of an interlocutory injunction merged into the final decree and dismissing appeal from denial of the interlocutory injunction); Atomic Oil Co. of Okla. v. Bardahl Oil Co., 419 F.2d 1097, 1102 n. 9 (10th Cir.1969) (“An order granting or denying an interlocutory or preliminary injunction is merged in a decree granting or denying a permanent injunction and when both orders are appealed from, the former will be dismissed.”); United States v. City of Chicago, 534 F.2d 708, 711-12 (7th Cir.1976) (same). Moreover, it would be impossible to provide Mr. Allen his requested injunctive relief during the pendency of the district court proceedings, now that those proceedings have ended. Consequently, his appeal is moot. See N. Natural Gas Co. v. Trans Pacific Oil Corp., 529 F.3d 1248, 1250 & n. 1 (10th Cir.2008) (dismissing as moot an appeal from denial of a preliminary injunction following appeal from denial of a motion for permanent injunction).
The appeal is DISMISSED. Mr. Allen’s Motion for Leave to Proceed on Appeal without Prepayment of Costs or Fees is GRANTED and he is reminded of his continuing obligation to make partial payments until the filing fee is paid in full. Mr. Allen’s Motion to Transport Transcripts is DENIED as moot.
