The following excerpt is from Buckley v. Scribner, CASE No. 1:04-cv-05622-LJO-MJS (E.D. Cal. 2013):
As in Boles v. Neet, 486 F.3d 1177, 1182-83 (10th Cir. 2007), a free exercise violation may exist where prison authorities refuse, without a legitimate penologic purpose, to allow a Jewish inmate to wear a yarmulke.
