Buckley

MEMORANDUM *

California inmate Antonio Cortez Buckley filed suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against several institutional Defendants alleging violations of his constitutional rights. The district court granted Defendants’ motion for summary judgment, and Buckley appeals on three issues. First, that Buckley was denied his First Amendment right to freely exercise his religion when correctional officers confiscated one of his Jewish prayer shawls. Second, that Buckley was subjected to cruel and unusual conditions in violation of the Eighth Amendment when he was forced to stand in a small holding “cage” for eleven hours without clothing, water, or medical attention. And third, that the officers who confiscated Buckley’s prayer shawl and who held him in unconstitutional conditions did so in retaliation for grievances he earlier filed. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292 , and we affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
