Opinions
Kasib Tauheed Bilal appeals pro se the district court’s grant of summary judgment for the defendant Arkansas prison officials in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The district court held that Bilal did not have a first amendment right to be addressed only by his Muslim name and that defendants did not violate Bilal’s due process rights by expelling him from disciplinary hearings after he refused to respond to his committed name.
Bilal failed to controvert Davis’s attestation that he was not a member of the disciplinary committee at any time pertinent to Bilal’s claims. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(e). Thus, we affirm the grant of summary judgment for defendant Davis.
We reverse the decision of the district court as to Bilal’s first and fourteenth amendment claims against the remaining defendants, and we remand the case for further consideration in light of Salaam v. Lockhart, 905 F.2d 1168 (8th Cir.1990).
