   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3064
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. The provisions of the 
   Arkansas Freedom of Information Act which only permit an incarcerated 
   felon to request information of public record through an attorney are 
   rationally related to two legitimate government interests: (1) to prevent 
   inmates from harassing or threatening victims or witnesses and (2)to 
   conserve government resources; as a result, the Act's limit on who may 
   benefit from the law does not violate plaintiff's equal protection rights; 
   plaintiff's claim that the Act violates his due process right to access 
   the courts fails because he has not shown an injury in fact; for future 
   challenges, plaintiff may obtain the records he seeks by filing a 
   discovery motion with a habeas petition; the district court did not abuse 
   its discretion by denying plaintiff's three Rule 60(b) motions as his 
   claims failed on the merit and he was not entitled to the additional 
   discovery he sought in the motions.
