defendant so it should not have been business if you stated the claim and we argue that he did state a claim he alleges that he was similarly situated to three inmates who were given an asset while while you're denied him phone access and particulars and not only were they treated differently but there was no rational basis back there alleges that there was no legitimate theological basis for the difference treatment and that if there was a motivation for this treatment was relevant and thirdly that be denials of phone access followed shortly after the grievances that were filed so the clearly there is evidence of cause a sion and retaliation i please the court hello my name is levi clear christianson also representing baxter with the center for social justice i'll be raising baxter's final three claims that wagner violated baxter's st amendment rights to reasonable telephone access the right of access to the courts and finally his right to procedural due process as we were asked to address in our appointment order baxter's rd point is that this court should join its five sisters circuits in expressly recognizing that inmates retain a st amendment right to telephone access subject the course to reasonable limitations arising from the gym and pain a logical and administrative interests of the prison system and that this court should hold that on this record baxter's can point properly alleges your honor i for all of the courts that that we found in our research that have addressed this question they ultimately did find that the right existed so i haven't we did not find a court that specifically chose to digress from the other court though there may be some that have not reached this question yet judge can you be can you clarify the nature of your client's claim is he claiming that he was deprived of all access to the telephone or is it because there was  every report some prison report in the record in indicated he had been granted one suggesting that his claim is that he was deprived of more calls than would have been  he would have been entitled to under the standard prison procedures so could you clarify what his claim and yet his complaint alleges that he was denied what he was entitled to for a period of months so it's not that he was completely denied for his entire time that he that he was in the port or and segregated housing but that the that the prison did deviate from what he was specifically entitled to for a period of months and could you just direct us to the particular portion of the record that makes that clear yes that would be early on in the record he indicates i don't know if i can point to the exact page at this moment off the top of my head but he does but what he does alleges that he was entitled to his indicates that he was entitled to a either a level two or three phone call and that other inmates were given that were in similar situations were given those were given those calls that that's early on his complaint in the form as he was filling out the form he indicates that he was entitled to a level two or three phone calls of which he was denied so therefore the prison deviated from what he was what he was entitled to is the claim that inmates in general have a constitutional right to make telephone calls or is a claim that whatever was allowed for inmates at this particular facility he was he was denied that or brought your honor that may be an important question as to what the st amendment absolutely requires as a minimum but this court does not have to reach that issue necessarily what is important is that he he was entitled to a certain amount of phone time and this phone time the prison and state regulations had determined was a reasonable amount of time what the st amendment simply would say is that if the prison was going to do the eight from that there needs to be legitimate reasons arising from pina logical and administrative interests of the prison system and on the record before the court there is an absence of any legitimate pain a logical reasons establish a violation of that right point that must demonstrate that the defendant hindered the pointis efforts to pursue a legal claim resulting in actual injury and that the claim was frustrated or impeded at page eighteen of the record baxter indicates he was attacked by prison guards and that he was later denied his phone call preventing him from contacting specifically an attorney to then file a complaint about that therefore on this record his complaint alleges a denial of access to the courts to bring that identifiable claim in regard to the beating and finally baxter was entitled to procedural due process for the denial of a song called because it was atypical and significant understand first this deprivation was significant baxter was entitled to fifteen minutes of phone per month while and segregated housing that phone call was his tiny window into the outside world to contact family and loved ones and to have the stripped away  no apparent reason is plainly devastating get it becomes worse and that that deprivation was there was a reason and it was discrimination and retaliation making this not a result of negligence but rather an intended harm  affront to his dignity and finally why don't you finish up please of course your honor furthermore the deprivation was a typical in that other inmates in the in it would be the opportunity if given the opportunity replete we would include all five of the claims that the complaint reasonably presents you mean you follow the same plan well we  become point would clarify the five claims in baxter's complaint he appears at least to raise and as the district court reviewed it to raise two claims but when five five claims that can be inferred from what baxter presented you would you would articulate the claim spatters what you're saying yes your honor ok thank you we have an argument well
