Larson v. Cooper

OPINION

BRYNER, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Loren J. Larson, Jr., a state prisoner, appeals the superior court’s summary judgment order dismissing his constitutional tort claim against two Department of Corrections officials for depriving him of contact visits in retaliation for his exercise of free speech, religion, and due process. Because Larson failed to offer evidence raising an inference of retaliatory conduct and the prison’s uncon-troverted evidence indicates that the visitation restrictions were taken for legitimate reasons, we affirm the superior court’s order.
