Roybal v. Griffith

Pending Petition
Docket No.25-442
Op. Below10th Cir.

Issue

(1) Whether a transgender inmate’s challenge to sex-based prison policies is subject to heightened scrutiny under United States v. Virginia, or subject to the deferential standard of “reasonable relationship to legitimate penological interests” under Turner v. Safley; and (2) whether a rule prohibiting cross-identified-gender strip searches in prisons is contrary to the flexible and deferential rule adopted in Bell v. Wolfish and reaffirmed in Florence v. Board of Chosen Freeholders of County of Burlington.
