How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the pretrial detainee plaintiff exhausted his administrative remedies as he was required to do under the PLRA
  • holding that prisoner at Cook County Department of Corrections must file a grievance and appeal after receipt of any administrative response to the grievance to exhaust his administrative remedies
  • noting that this court had jurisdiction over appeal given “multiple indicia that the district court was finished with the case”
  • stating that unavailability “extends beyond ‘affirmative misconduct’ to omissions by prison personnel, particularly failing to inform the prisoner of the grievance process”
  • finding that the jail grievance process was unavailable to an inmate who was hospitalized after excessive force and had no information about how to file a grievance
  • noting that because officials rendered grievance process unavailable to detainee, district court did not need to consider whether detainee raised valid grievance about the conditions of his detention
