111845P.pdf   08/29/2012  Wallace Beaulieu  v.  Cal Ludeman
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1845
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Colloton,
   Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Civil Rights. In this suit challenging various practices and policies at the Minnesota Sex Offender Program, the district court did not err in finding that the record did not establish that two of the plaintiffs were transferred to the Annex portion of the facility in retaliation for filing suits against defendants; record did not support claim that plaintiff Beaulieu was transferred for retaliatory purposes; unclothed full body search policy was not unreasonable; policy of using full restraints for transporting patients was reasonable and a proper exercise of officials' professional judgment; policy limiting size of TVs patients could keep in their rooms was justified by patient safety and facility security concerns; mail policy upheld; telephone policy does not violate the plaintiffs' constitutional rights; challenges to double-bunking, shower arrangements and bathroom sanitation rejected; limits on access to legal research and writing computers did not impact plaintiffs' property or liberty interests.
