This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.  Upon examination of the briefs and record, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).

Antar M. Bantu appeals the summary judgment for defendants in this civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  Bantu alleged that he was subjected to harassment by the defendant prison officials due to his religious affiliation.  Upon consideration, we conclude that summary judgment was proper.

However, we clarify that the judgment is without prejudice with respect to the named defendant Roberts, who was not served.  Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(j).  Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
