MEMORANDUM **

Laurence Woods (“Woods”), a Muslim inmate, appeals the District Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants, officials at the Multnomah County Inverness Jail (“Jail”) in Portland, Oregon. In his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Woods alleged that the defendants violated his rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution by limiting the exercise and practice of his religion. On appeal, Woods contends that the District Court erred by granting summary judgment to defendants on the grounds that there were no genuine issues of material fact. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the District Court’s decision and remand for further proceedings consistent with this memorandum.
