United States Second Circuit

In an inmate's lawsuit alleging that defendants retaliated against him for his actions as a member of the prison Inmate Liaison Committee (ILC), in violation of 42 U.S.C. section 1983 and 1985(3), the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's section 1983 claim is reversed where voicing inmate grievances as a member of the ILC constitutes constitutionally protected conduct.
