The district court also properly granted summary judgment as to the claims against defendant Felton because Roy failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Felton participated in certain of the alleged retaliatory acts and whether Felton’s conduct as to other acts was based on retaliatory motive, rather than legitimate penological goals.
