OPINION OF THE COURT
SLOYITER, Circuit Judge.
Before us is the appeal by prisoners from the order of the District Court granting summary judgment to prison officials and employees as to the prisoners’ claims that their constitutional rights to the free exercise of religion and equal protection have been violated by the prison’s failure to provide them with meals they contend are required by their religious beliefs. We further consider whether the District Court abused its discretion by admitting the declaration and deposition testimony of a witness into the summary judgment record.
