Wilson v. Epps, No. 13-60574 (5th Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, a state prisoner, filed suit alleging that prison officials violated his constitutional rights by failing to respond to his grievances about prison conditions and procedures. The magistrate judge dismissed plaintiff's claims, construing defendants' motion as a motion for summary judgment. The court rejected plaintiff's arguments that he did not need to exhaust his administrative remedies before filing suit because the prison grievance process was unconstitutional and because the prison failed to respond to his grievances. Accordingly, the court concluded that there is no genuine issue of material fact as to whether plaintiff exhausted his administrative remedies. The court affirmed the magistrate's dismissal.
