controlled substances law against sacramental use of hoasca; although this
is a stay of the district court’s preliminary injunction, it clearly reflects the
negative evaluation of the two participating appellate judges and the earliest
indication of their negative view; so in the coding of the en banc decision in
2003 (616-FE) their two votes are not double-counted

were not members of recognized tribes to apply for permit for possession of

government to show that limitation was least restrictive means (not
surprisingly under that standard, the government lost on remand in 2009
district court decision)

Summary: Prisoner complained of free exercise violations; an odd case to
code, as the court’s bottom-line is not clear; in the end, the court dismisses
all claims for prospective relief and holds qualified immunity bars any
damage claim, so even on the couple of First Amendment claims on which
the court initially suggests fact issues prevent summary judgment, the court
ultimate rejects all First Amendment claims; equal protection claims go
forward to trial, but then the defendants’ motion did not raise those anyway;
so it should be coded as adverse to the plaintiff

Summary: Prisoner complained of comprehensive religious discrimination
by Sunni Muslim chaplain against Shiites; close question on whether to
include as involves denials of summary judgment and rulings in both
directions; however, it is another step beyond pleading stage addressed in
earlier decision (see 1182-NA) and court appears to lean toward plaintiff in
noting seriousness of allegations, that anti-Shiite comments are alleged, and
that claims do state a First Amendment violation if proven; no subsequent
decision more directly on merits is available

Summary: Prisoner claimed religious discrimination in considering church
membership in parole hearing; although the panel initially affirmed district
court’s dismissal of the claim as factually frivolous, the court of appeals
concludes that additional facts alleged could present a viable claim and that
the district court should examine whether the prisoner was denied access to
court rules in the prison library so that he could not have known that his
failure to make a post-judgment motion could result in waiver

Summary: Close question on whether to include as prosecutor’s statements
about defendant’s religion were designed to suggest was hypocrite rather
than to disparage religion itself, but appellate briefs show that prosecutor’s
statements were significant and not merely in passing, that religious
identification was important to defendant, and that religious claims of
defendant were fraudulent; importantly, prosecutor did not merely note
defendant’s use of religion to induce others or to show connection with a
group or matter but affirmatively to suggest hypocrisy, which arguably
crosses the line that makes it a religious liberty matter

Summary: Jewish employee of state agency corporation alleged religious
discrimination; although some claims dismissed, the court denies
defendant’s summary judgment motion on whether religion was motivating
cause of termination and emphasizes that evidence shows defendant was
unhappy with religious accommodation and made religiously denigrating
comments; close question on whether counts as ruling on merits, but on
balance, evaluation of evidence indicates strength of plaintiff’s claims; case
apparently resolved without further ruling on merits
