Court Description: MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Signed by the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr on 3/31/2022. This is a prisoner civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983 and the Fourteenth Amendment by Plaintiff Travon Howard against Officer J. Evans (#15376), in his individual capacity, for alleged deliberate indifference (Count I), and against the Sheriff of Cook County, Thomas Dart, in his official capacity, as well as Cook County, Illinois, for alleged inadequate medical treatment (Count II), concerning injuries suffered by Plaintiff at the hands of his cellmate on August 2, 2017. Currently before the Court is Defendant Evans' Motion for Summary Judgment 59 , filed pursuant to Pavey v. Conley, 544 F.3d 739, 740 (7th Cir. 200 8), as to Count I, only. For the reasons stated below, Defendant's Motion 59 is granted for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). See Pavey, 544 F.3d at 742 ("issue of exhaustion should b e resolved at the start of the case, before pretrial discovery begins."). A final judgment as to the claims against Defendant Evans will be entered pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) and he will be terminated as a party to this action. The remaining Defendants are instructed to file a Status Report regarding the progress of this case with respect to Count II of the Amended Complaint by April 15, 2022. Emailed notice(cdh, )
