United States Second Circuit

In a suit asserting Bivens claims for violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) against prison officials for a policy that restricted Muslim inmates' ability to perform regular congregational prayers, summary judgment in favor of the defendants is vacated, where an earlier grievance filed by the plaintiff was sufficient to exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to continuing limitations on congregational prayer at the prison.
