A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a Connecticut prison inmate who said his First, Fourth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated because he never received a religious book that was mailed to him on two occasions. The ruling does allow for inmate Jose Ramos to file an amended complaint by Oct. 1.

Dannel Malloy, among others.
