Judge(s): GILMAN, LARSEN, and NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Toledo

NALBANDIAN, Circuit Judge. Proceeding pro se in district court, Lyle Heyward filed a complaint alleging that prison officials frustrated his attempts to celebrate Ramadan in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”). He also alleges that officials retaliated against him for filing grievances in violation of the First Amendment. The district court dismissed Heyward’s claims. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
