Question Presented (AI Summary)

Was prisoners constitutional and statutory right to petition and religious freedoms violated when the district court dismissed his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights suit against jail guards for refusing to comply with the court's order to undergo a Department of Corrections directed 'health screening' unrelated to the claims in the underlying suit?
