   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3819
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena   
   [PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and
   Benton, Circuit Judge]
Prisoner case - prisoner civil rights. District court did not err in granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiff's claim that defendant's dietary plans violated his rights under the Free Exercise Clause, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act or the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act as he failed to show the plans placed a substantial burden on his ability to exercise his Muslim faith; district court did not err in rejecting plaintiff's Equal Protection claims as the evidence showed the Bureau reasonably believed it had accommodated the needs of a halal diet and that none of its actions were taken with the intent to discriminate against religious beliefs; plaintiff lacked standing to raise an Establishment Clause claim.
