Malik Muntaqim v. Gaylon R. Lay

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Muntaqim's motion for a preliminary injunction challenging ADC policies governing incoming publications and religious services. It held that the publication policy's individualized review of materials for violent or inflammatory content and the requirement that religious services be led by credentialed outside volunteers were reasonably related to legitimate prison-safety interests, and the circuit court therefore did not abuse its discretion. The court declined to consider the RLUIPA claim because Muntaqim did not request the findings necessary to preserve that issue for appeal.
