1Concurring in part, dissenting in partWiggins, Circuit Judge
In 1973 inmates of four maximum security California state prisons brought this class action against officers of those prisons. The inmates’ complaints relevant to this appeal concerned San Quentin prison officials’ procedures for segregating allegedly gang-affiliated inmates and San Quentin’s and Folsom’s procedures for providing segregated inmates with access to the courts. Prison officials appeal the district court’s modification of its permanent injunction on these issues. I would affirm the judgment below. Accordingly, I dissent.
