Wesley Brooks v. Tom Roy

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

Decided January 27, 2015No. 14-1301PublishedCited by 32 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

KELLY, Circuit Judge.

Wesley Eugene Brooks is a member of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community and an inmate at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Faribault, Minnesota (“MCF-Faribault”). He sued various officials at his prison and alleged that his required chemical-dependency program conflicted with his religious beliefs. The district court 1 dismissed some of Brooks’s claims and granted summary judgment for the defendants on his other claims. Because we conclude that Brooks’s complaint failed to state a claim on which relief may be granted, we affirm the-judgment. 2
