• explaining that causation requires a showing that the fact of plaintiff’s protected activity, not the substance, motivated the alleged adverse action
• finding that an inmate failed to show that the reason for his transfer was pretextual
• noting that transfer from one institution to another institution of the same classification “does not by itself make the transfer adverse.”
