Timothy Ryan, a federal prisoner at FCI Fort Dix, filed a civil action alleging BOP officials prohibited him from moving to a safer bunk, causing him to contract COVID-19, and that BOP failed to accommodate his food allergies and religious dietary needs. Chief Judge Renée Marie Bumb granted Defendants' Motion to Dismiss in part, dismissing Plaintiff's Bivens claims with prejudice and FTCA claims without prejudice, while reserving the question of administrative exhaustion on Eighth Amendment equitable relief claims for findings of fact.
