Flowers v. Hall

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that prisoner’s allegation that prison did not respond to his grievance depended on his credibility
• affirming district court’s failure to exhaust finding where Plaintiff asserted that he received no response to his grievances, but the court found this assertion not credible due to conflicting hearing testimony
• “We take a strict compliance approach to exhaustion, but an inmate needs to exhaust only available administrative remedies. If [Plaintiff] is correct that the prison failed to respond to his grievances, an appeal to the Board was an unavailable remedy and need not have been exhausted.”
