FILE - In this Monday, Oct. 10, 2011 file photo, Sam Mullet stands in front of his Bergholz, Ohio, home. Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith in eastern Ohio are arguing that the group's conviction, sentencing and imprisonment in separate facilities across the country violates their constitutional rights and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to recent court filings. The Amish group's leader, Mullet, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while the rest of the group got sentences ranging from one to seven years. (AP Photo/Amy Sancetta, File)

FILE - Hildale, Utah sits at the base of red rock cliff mountains with its sister city, Colorado City, Ariz., in the foreground in this Thursday, April 20, 2006, file photo. A federal appeals court ruled Monday, Nov. 5, 2012, that the polygamist sect on the Utah-Arizona border waited too long to challenge a court-ordered takeover, clearing the way for state authorities to break up a church trust and sell assets including homes, businesses and farms in two small towns. A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a federal judge in Salt Lake City, who ruled nearly two years ago that Utah's takeover violated the constitutional rights of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
