Pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995, “[n]o action shall be brought with respect to
prison conditions under [42 U.S.C. § 1983], or any other Federal law, by a prisoner confined in
any jail, prison, or other correctional facility until such administrative remedies as are available are
exhausted.” 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). If there is an inmate appeal or administrative remedy process
available at your institution, you may not file an action under Section 1983, or any other federal
law, until you have first completed (exhausted) the process available at your institution. You are
required to complete (exhaust) the inmate appeal or administrative remedy process before filing
suit, regardless of the relief offered by the process. Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 741 (2001);
McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1999 (9th Cir. 2002). Even if you are seeking only money
damages and the inmate appeal or administrative remedy process does not provide money,
you must exhaust the process before filing suit. Booth, 532 U.S. at 734.
