How courts have described this case

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

recognizing that the grievance process may be unavailable if prison authorities mislead a prisoner into believing that participating in an internal-affairs investigation will fulfill the grievance requirement
holding that participating in an internal-affairs investigation does not exhaust a prisoner’s available administrative remedies under the PLRA
participating in an internal-affairs investigation is no substitute for utilizing the formal grievance process and does not satisfy the exhaustion requirement
relying on Brown to find that remedies are unavailable when “prison officials misle[a]d” a prisoner into thinking that “the remedy does not exist or inaccurately describe the steps he needs to take to pursue it”
When administrative procedures are clearly laid out ... an inmate must comply with them in order to exhaust his remedies.”
“The exhaustion requirement is an affirmative defense, which the defendants bear the burden of proving.” (citing Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 216 (2007))
