How courts have described this case

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

• holding that grievance complaining in a grievance of injuries by medical staff was not sufficient to alert the jail that correctional officers were involved in the plaintiff being injured
• holding that, because the allegations in the grievance did not support the claim he pursued in his lawsuit, the plaintiff failed to give the institution notice of his claim
• finding that the grievance did not give the jail a “fair opportunity to address [the plaintiff’s] complaint,” where the plaintiff only grieved that “medical staff” were liable for his injuries and delayed care and did not mention correctional staff
• deeming administrative remedies available and satisfied after prisoner “had filed a grievance and appealed the Jail’s response”
• affirming dismissal on exhaustion grounds when inmate failed to put prison on notice of allegations against officer
• finding an inmate’s grievance can only exhaust a claim in a lawsuit if the grievance raises the same claim as the lawsuit
