GREGORY HOUSTON HOLT, AKA ABDUL MAALIK
 
MUHAMMAD, PETITIONER v. RAY HOBBS,  

DIRECTOR, ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT 

OF CORRECTION, ET AL. 

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF 

APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
 

[January 20, 2015]

 JUSTICE  GINSBURG,  with  whom  JUSTICE  SOTOMAYOR 

joins, concurring. 

Unlike the exemption this Court approved in Burwell v. 
Hobby  Lobby  Stores,  Inc.,  573  U.  S.  ___  (2014),  accommo-
dating  petitioner’s  religious  belief  in  this  case  would  not
detrimentally  affect  others  who  do  not  share  petitioner’s 
belief.  See id., at ___, ___–___, and n. 8, ___ (slip op., at 2, 
7–8,  and  n. 8,  27)  (GINSBURG,  J.,  dissenting).  On  that 
understanding, I join the Court’s opinion.
