Iron Thunderhorse v. Pierce

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on January 10, 2010.

Docket No.09-1353
Op. Below5th Circuit

Issue

Whether the court of appeals misinterpreted the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc et seq., to require only a minimal showing that a prison grooming rule which concededly imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise is the “least restrictive means of furthering [a] compelling governmental interest.”?
