Description
Order Milton Weekly filed this suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, contending that the Constitution requires prison officials to allow him and other inmates to practice gospel singing in the Protestant Chapel of the prison without supervision. The district judge granted summary judgment for the defendants, holding that there is no unsupervised-song principle in the first amendment. Weekly's principal contention is that the district judge did not rule on his motion to compel the defendants to produce books and records that Weekly believes vital to his case. His brief does not explain, however, what materials these are or why they are important. The district judge properly concluded that prisons need not compromise their security by allowing inmates to congregate anywhere, even in the chapel on Sunday, without supervision. Additional discovery was unnecessary. So, too, affidavits from additional defendants were unnecessary. Redundant documents need not be filed. The material facts were undisputed.
