United States Sixth Circuit

In a First Amendment challenge to a prison policy prohibiting the receipt of certain Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) materials by prisoners, a preliminary injunction against the policy is affirmed where the policy was not sufficiently narrowly tailored because effective rules had been developed that allowed prisoners to receive a broad range of UCC-related materials while still limiting fraudulent filings.
