Fredrick Cuffie v. Louie L. Wainwright, Director, Division of Corrections, State of Florida
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Fredrick Cuffie v. Louie L. Wainwright, Director, Division of Corrections, State of Florida, 421 F.2d 696 (5th Cir. 1970)
1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 11137
Fredrick Cuffie v. Louie L. Wainwright, Director, Division of Corrections, State of Florida
Opinion
In this habeas corpus proceeding by a state prisoner it was alleged that on account of his religion Cuffie had been denied certain federally guaranteed Constitutional rights. Upon a show cause order and subsequent consideration, the District Court denied relief.
The petitioner failed to make any showing whatever that his religious beliefs had ever been brought to the attention of the prison authorities. / It is obvious, therefore, that no discrimination in that regard could have been possible.
Affirmed.
