Summary of this case from Cooke v. Deschaine

upholding state prison rule prohibiting receipt of sexually-explicit materials

Summary of this case from Baker v. Holder

denying cross motions for summary judgment as to a prison's then-abandoned policy of banning "all publications that featured women in 'sexy poses' even if they were fully clothed," noting that Defendants "devote scant attention to this aspect of Plaintiff's claims, and they cite no authority that would authorize such a broad ... ban in the general population of a prison"

Summary of this case from Pers. Legal News v. Stolle

In Boyd, after a jury trial resulted in a hung jury, the district court denied a renewed motion for summary judgment seeking qualified immunity, explaining that the warden's testimony failed to establish a "valid rational connection" between the ban on "all general population inmates receiving... publications with non-obscene matters such as pictures of women in bikinis or miniskirts."
