Wesley Brooks v. Tom Roy
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
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
