Supreme Court rules Rastafarian man can't sue guards who cut his dreadlocks

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a former Louisiana inmate cannot seek money damages from prison officers who forcibly cut his dreadlocks, which he says violated his Rastafari faith.

In a 6-3 decision, the justices held that the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) does not allow lawsuits seeking damages against individual prison employees.
