How courts have described this case

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

  • finding that the prisoner failed to exhaust because there was a “disconnect between the griev- ance and complaint”
  • holding that detainee failed to exhaust given the “disconnect between the grievance” targeting the failure to respond to requests for help before another detainee assaulted him and the complaint alleging that guards ignored him during the attack
  • concluding an inmate cannot rely on a grievance to exhaust a claim if there is a “disconnect between the grievance and complaint”
  • holding a grievance complaining one jail officer failed to come to inmate’s aid during attack did not exhaust inmate’s claim that other jail employees predicted but ignored the risk of attack
  • explaining the “County operates Cermak” and that the County “accepted federal funds for Illinois state prisons.”
  • affirming summary judgment because plaintiff “presented none of [the complaint’s] allegations to the jail through the grievance process, and federal courts lack discretion to consider a claim that has not traveled the required administrative path”
