*Excellent Trial Opportunity*
Plaintiff, a pro se prisoner, is proceeding on a Complaint, in which he alleged that Defendant violated the Religious Land Use Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”). Plaintiff alleges he is a Muslim who has a religious obligation to grow his beard to a minimum of fist length. He contends that it is Defendant’s policy that Plaintiff cannot grow his beard freely (or at minimum fist length) as required by his religion. Plaintiff claims the current policy requires forcible trimming of his face or head to comply with regulations. As relief, Plaintiff seeks to compel Defendant to exempt him from the grooming policy and allow him to freely grow his beard, or at a minimum grow a fist length beard, trim his mustache and maintain his beard. Plaintiff also seeks the reimbursement of all filing fees associated with this Complaint. Recently, the Court denied cross summary judgment motions. The case is currently trial ready.
