Court Case

Feb 07, 2023

Coopwood v. County of Wayne (amicus)

The Michigan District Court held that a prisoner’s lack of cognitive capacity to access the grievance process does not make it unavailable, and so it dismissed her PRLA lawsuit for failure to exhaust. The underlying facts are horrific. The issue on appeal is the exhaustion of administrative remedies
