ORDER DIRECTING SUBMISSION OF POSITION STATEMENTS
On August 12, 2014, the court issued an Order Allowing Targeted Discovery as to
“whether Plaintiffs exhausted their administrative remedies under the PLRA and whether
said remedies were actually available.” (Dkt. # 120.) A dispute arose about the scope of
this discovery and the parties submitted Statements of Issues. The court directs the
parties to provide position statements on Plaintiffs’ Issues 2, 3, 4, and 5a, as well as the
question, “Under what circumstances is failure to exhaust excused?” Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs will file a position statement of no more than fifteen
pages by November 14, 2014. Defendants will file a response of no more than fifteen
pages by December 1, 2014.
