Madyun v. Franzen

TIMBERS, Circuit Judge. Appellant Madyun, an inmate at the Pontiac Correctional Center, Pontiac, Illinois, appeals from a summary judgment entered in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Harold A. Baker, District Judge, dismissing his civil rights action, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1976 & Supp. IV 1980), in which he sought damages, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief. Madyun claims that the prison authorities, by punishing him for his religiously-motivated refusal to submit to a "frisk search" by a woman guard, violated his constitutional rights.
