This case involves a petition for a writ of certiorari regarding a dispute between Toure and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The Supreme Court was asked to review a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Question presented
Whether the Ninth Circuit's decision to affirm the district court's dismissal of Petitioner's complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), was in conflict with this Court's precedent in Ross v. Blake, 136 S. Ct. 1850 (2016), where the administrative process was "unavailable" to Petitioner?
