Gonzalez v. Seal, et al, No. 11-31068 (5th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed a complaint, and several amended complaints, against the Louisiana Department of Corrections, asserting that threats and harassment had occurred periodically since July 2006; that he had suffered an excessive use of force in July 2006 and on November 11, 2009; that he had suffered a denial of medical care, a due process denial resulting from an extended stay in lockdown; and state law assault and battery. Because the court found that pre-filing administrative exhaustion was required pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), 42 U.S.C. 1997e(a), the court reversed the district court's denial of defendants' motion for summary judgment and remanded for entry of judgment dismissing the complaint.
