Opinion
Case No.: 1:08-CV-1197 JTM (JMA)
07-17-2012
DORIAN DAVIS aka WALI AL-TAQUI, CDC #k-78041, Plaintiff, v. E.G. FLORES, et al., Defendants.
ORDER REQUIRING FURTHER
BRIEFING
Docket No. 48, 77
On January 18, 2011, this court granted Defendants' motion for summary judgment as to all remaining claims and parties. Plaintiff appealed. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the prior dismissal of Plaintiff's Equal Protection Claim and the grant of summary judgment on Plaintiff's First Amendment and RLUIPA claims premised on the temporary suspension of in-cell use of prayer oil. However, it vacated and remanded for further proceedings as to Plaintiff's First Amendment and RLUIPA claims premised on a prison prohibition of unsupervised inmate-led religious services.
Defendants did not address Plaintiff's First Amendment and RLUIPA claims based on the prohibition of unsupervised inmate-led religious services. For that reason, Defendants will be provided with an opportunity to supplement their motion for summary judgment with additional briefing.
If Defendants wish to move for summary judgment on the grounds discussed above, they shall file a supplemental brief of no more than ten pages on or before August 24, 2012. If Plaintiff wishes to oppose Defendants' motion, he shall submit an opposition brief of no more than ten pages on or before October 5, 2012. Upon receipt of each party's brief, the court will take the matter under submission
IT IS SO ORDERED.
