United States Third Circuit

In a prisoner civil rights action, arising when a dispute over who broke plaintiff's radio escalated into a claim of retaliation for exercising First Amendment rights, the district court's grant of summary judgment to defendants is reversed in part where a reasonable fact finder could conclude that a prison official issued a misconduct to plaintiff in retaliation for stating that he would file a grievance, instead of for legitimate penological reasons.
