Case Summary
A prisoner’s retaliation and conditions-of-confinement claims raised a factual dispute about whether he had exhausted administrative remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. The Court held that when exhaustion is intertwined with the merits of a claim that carries a Seventh Amendment jury right, the exhaustion issue must be tried to a jury rather than resolved by the judge alone.
