Action Alleging Indifference to Prisoner’s Medical Need
In Parzyck v. Prison Health Servs., Inc., No. 09-12483, an action by a prisoner alleging that prison medical personnel were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment, the court reversed the dismissal of the complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies where plaintiff demonstrated meticulous respect for the department of corrections’ administrative grievance procedures and gave prison officials ample opportunity to respond internally before defendant was brought into court, and thus plaintiff complied with the letter and purpose of 42 U.S.C. section 1997e(a)’s exhaustion requirement.
