ORDER ADOPTING IN PART THE
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
AND GRANTING SUMMARY
JUDGMENT FOR ALL DEFENDANTS
EXCEPT FOR ANTHONY GATTO
Plaintiff James Oscar Wright, a former state prisoner in Pennsylvania, brings the present
action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging violations of his Eighth Amendment rights. Specifically,
in Count I, Plaintiff alleges that certain Pennsylvania Department of Correction employees (“the
14
Commonwealth Defendants”) used excessive force when, on July 23, 2013, they restrained him
15
near his cell, resulting in Plaintiff suffering a broken foot. In Count II, Plaintiff alleges that the
16
Commonwealth Defendants—along with Defendant Nancy McGarvie, a prison doctor, and
17
Defendant Corizon Health, Inc. (“Corizon”), the private company tasked with providing health
18
19
20
21
care to the prison’s inmates—acted with deliberate indifference to Plaintiff’s serious medical
needs following the July 23, 2013 incident by not timely and adequately providing Plaintiff with
proper medical care.1 The Commonwealth Defendants consist of the following employees of
22
State Correctional Institute at Forest (“SCI Forest”), the prison in which Plaintiff was formerly
23
incarcerated: Debra Sauers, the Superintendent; Eric Tice, the Deputy Superintendent; Michael
24
Overmyer, the Deputy Superintendent for Centralized Services; Raymond Burkhart and Anthony
25
Gatto, corrections officers; and Kim Smith, a health care administrator. Pl’s. Third Am. Compl.,
1
Plaintiff previously dismissed his claims against Wexford Health Sources, Inc., and Daniel Clever, respectively.

Dkt. 90 ¶¶ 8-16. The Commonwealth Defendants have moved for summary judgment as to
Counts I and II. Defendants McGarvie and Corizon, respectively, have moved for summary
judgment on the sole count against them, Count II.
4
Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) of the Honorable Susan
5
Paradise Baxter, United States Magistrate Judge, recommending that, as to Count I, the Court
6
7

9
10
deny summary judgment for one of the Commonwealth Defendants—Anthony Gatto, the
corrections officer who Plaintiff claims used excessive force—and grant summary judgment for
the remaining, supervisory Commonwealth Defendants. The Commonwealth Defendants did not
file objections as to the recommendation regarding Gatto.2
11
As to Count II, Magistrate Judge Baxter recommends that the Court grant summary
12
judgment for the Commonwealth Defendants and for Defendant McGarvie, but deny summary
13
judgment for Defendant Corizon.
14
15
16
17
Plaintiff filed objections to—and, later, a response
regarding—the recommendation that the Court grant summary judgment as to Count II for the
Commonwealth Defendants and McGarvie. Corizon filed objections—and, later, a response to
Plaintiff’s Objections. McGarvie filed a response in opposition to Plaintiff’s Objections.
18
Having reviewed the Complaint, the parties’ briefs, and the R&R, and finding no objection
19
as to the recommendation that, as to Count I (excessive force), the Court will deny summary
20
judgment for Defendant Gatto and grant it for the remaining Commonwealth Defendants, the
21
22
Court hereby adopts the decision of the Magistrate Judge. Having further reviewed the record
and the objections on the remaining claims at issue, the Court adopts in part the decision of the
23
24
Magistrate Judge as to Count II (deliberate indifference to Plaintiff’s serious medical needs).
25
2
The Commonwealth Defendants filed a response in opposition to Plaintiff’s Objections containing only a request
that the Court adopt the R&R “for the reasons set forth by Judge Baxter in the R&R.” Dkt. 185.

LEGAL STANDARDS

A.
3
When a party objects to an R&R, the district court must review de novo those portions
4
of the R&R to which objection is made. See United States v. Raddatz, 447 U.S. 667, 673
5
6
Standard of Review
(1980); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). However, to obtain de novo review, a party must clearly and
specifically identify those portions of the R&R to which it objects. Goney v. Clark, 749 F.2d

5, 6-7 (3d Cir. 1984). The district court may accept, reject, or modify, in whole or in part, the

material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 56(a).
The moving party bears the initial burden of demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of
material fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986). “[T]he substantive law will
identify which facts are material. Only disputes over facts that might affect the outcome of the
17
suit under the governing law will properly preclude the entry of summary judgment.” Anderson
18
v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). A dispute about a material fact is “genuine . . .
19
if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party.” Id.
20
In deciding a summary judgment motion, the court must view the evidence in the light most
21

24
favorable to the non-moving party and draw all justifiable inferences in its favor. Weldon v.

PLAINTIFF’S DELIBERATE INDIFFERENCE CLAIM (COUNT II)
The facts of this case are presented fully in the R&R and in the Court’s previous orders.
See Dkt. 182; see also Dkt. 76. Accordingly, the Court addresses here only those facts and legal
4
concepts relevant to the parties’ objections and responses thereto. See Corizon’s Objs., Dkt. 183;
5
Pl’s. Objs., Dkt. 184; Corizon’s Resp. to Pl’s. Objs., Dkt. 187; Pl’s. Resp. to Corizon’s Objs.,
6
Dkt. 187; McGarvie’s Resp. to Pl’s. Objs., Dkt. 188. The gravamen of the parties’ objections

concern whether Plaintiff properly exhausted his administrative remedies following the July 23,
2012 incident that resulted in Plaintiff’s foot being broken. See Dkts. 183-188.

11
A. The Prison Litigation Reform Act’s Exhaustion Requirement
The Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”), 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), requires that
12
prisoners exhaust their available administrative remedies before filing any suit involving prison
13
life, “whether they involve general circumstances or particular episodes, and whether they allege
14
excessive force or some other wrong.” Porter v. Nussle, 534 U.S. 516, 532 (2002); see also
15
16
17
18
Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 211 (2007) (“There is no question that exhaustion is mandatory
under the PLRA and that unexhausted claims cannot be brought in court.”). Exhaustion is
required “even where the relief sought—monetary damages—cannot be granted by the
19
administrative process.” Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 85 (2006). In order to properly exhaust
20
their claims, prisoners must comply with the administrative review process set forth by the
21
relevant prison’s grievance process, including properly availing themselves of “all administrative
22
remedies.” Spruill v. Gillis, 372 F.3d 218, 231 (3d Cir. 2004); see also Jones, 549 U.S. at 218.
23
24
25
“The level of detail necessary in a grievance to comply with the grievance procedures will vary
from system to system and claim to claim, but it is the prison’s requirements, and not the PLRA,
that define the boundaries of proper exhaustion.” Jones, 549 U.S. at 218; accord Spruill, 372
4
1
2
F.3d at 231 (“Mandatory exhaustion (with a procedural default component) ensures that inmate
grievances will be addressed first within the prison’s own system—in this respect, the PLRA is
3
thus appropriately defederalizing”).
4
plaintiffs are not required to plead or demonstrate exhaustion. Jones, 549 U.S. at 216.

McGarvie Answer, Doc. 95 at 27; Corizon Answer, Doc. 98 at 15.
B. Plaintiff Failed to Exhaust His Administrative Remedies
10
Pennsylvania’s Department of Corrections Inmate Grievance System consists of a three-
11
step administrative process. Booth v. Churner, 206 F.3d 289, 293 (3d Cir. 2000), aff'd, 532 U.S.
12
731, (2001) (citing Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Corrections, Consolidated
13
Inmate Grievance Review System, Policy No. DC–ADM 804 §§ VI.A.1, VI.B.2.). Grievances
14
15
16
17
must be submitted in writing and within 15 days of the underlying events. DC-ADM 804 § I.
The Grievance System provides that the grievance will be investigated; and, within ten working
days of its receipt, the grievant will be provided a written response that includes a “brief
18
rationale summarizing the conclusion and any action taken or recommended to resolve every
19
issue[.]” If the initial grievance is denied, the grievant may appeal the denial within ten working
20
days to the Facility Manager. The Facility Manager and its personnel will have ten working days
21
22
within which to notify the grievant of their decision. If the grievance is denied at this level, the
grievant may, within fifteen days, appeal to the Secretary’s Office of Inmate Grievances and
23
24
25
Appeals (“SOIGA”) for final review. The grievant must provide SOIGA “with all required
documentation relevant to the appeal. A proper appeal for final review must include” legible
copies of the inmate’s: initial grievance; initial review response/ rejection and/ or the remanded
5
1
2
initial review response/ rejection; first appeal; the Facility Manager’s decision; and a written
appeal to SOIGA. DC-ADM 804 § II. Grievants are advised that their “failure to provide any of
3
the documentation [] may result in the appeal being dismissed[.]” Id.3 SOIGA has 30 working
4
days within which to respond to a grievant. Id.

Grievance 431502 forms the basis of Plaintiff’s denial of adequate medical care claim
(Count II). Pl’s. Opp’n to Commonwealth Defs’. Mot. Summ. J., Dkt. 147 at 26-27; Pl’s. Opp’n
to McGarvie Mot. Summ. J., Dkt. 151 at 6-7. In Grievance 431502, Plaintiff complained that on
October 8, 2012, while Plaintiff was in the prison yard, Defendant Burkhart took from his cell a
10
“medical boot for [Plaintiff’s] foot and ankle” that Plaintiff had “removed to see how swollen
11
[his] foot was.” Dkt. 118, Ex. 10. Burkhart, Plaintiff grieved, “does not have a medical degree
12
and should not have removed said boot from [Plaintiff’s] cell.” Plaintiff’s Grievance was
13
“rejected” because he had not provided a “Confiscated Items Receipt” or other documentary
14
15
16
17
“proof” that the confiscated property was once in Plaintiff’s possession. Id. Such documentary
proof must be attached to any grievance involving confiscated property. DC-ADM 804 §§
1(b)(11), 2(A)(2)(h).
18
Plaintiff, in response, submitted another Initial Grievance, listing the (same) 431502
19
number on the form, and alerting the reviewing official that “the documentation that [the prison]
20
require[s] is in the medical records.” Plaintiff’s medical records, Plaintiff grieved, document that
21
22
Plaintiff’s foot had been broken in July, and that the confiscated boot was prescribed to help heal
his injury. See Dkt. 118, Ex. 10.
23
Plaintiff’s Grievance was substantively denied by Defendant Smith, a heath care
24
25
administrator at SCI Forest. Dkt. 118, Ex. 10. In her denial, Smith noted that the confiscated
3
The Department provides indigent inmates up to $10.00 per month for making copies of these documents and for
postage. DC-ADM 804 § II.
6
1
2
splint had been placed on Plaintiff more than two months prior. The splint, Smith explained, “is
not as simple as a medical boot that you can take on and off and re-apply as preferred. The splint
3
(boot) is similar to a cast and is to be left on until follow up with [an] orthopedic doctor.” To
4
remove the boot, Smith wrote, Plaintiff “had to remove the cast sock, cast padding, and cast
5
plaster, and ace wraps.
6
7
8
Healthcare items that are not used as intended or altered can be
considered contraband and a security risk.” Thus, Smith concluded, Burkhart was “correct in
removing the useless altered cast from [Plaintiff’s] cell to maintain safety and security.”4
Plaintiff appealed Smith’s denial.
9
Plaintiff, in his appeal, and in addition to his
10
complaints about Burkhart, grieved that he had never received crutches from the prison, and had
11
only twice been given a wheelchair to keep off of his injured foot. The Facility Manager denied
12
Plaintiff’s appeal, finding that “Burkhart confiscated a splint boot that [Plaintiff] had rendered
13
useless.” Plaintiff, in turn, submitted a handwritten appeal to SOIGA. At this final stage,
14
15
16
17
SOIGA dismissed Plaintiff’s Grievance because Plaintiff had not “provided this Office with the
required documentation for proper review.” The record does not indicate that Plaintiff took any
further action as to this Grievance.
18
1. Plaintiff’s Claims Against McGarvie and the Commonwealth Defendants
19
Magistrate Judge Baxter, in relevant part in her R&R, found that Plaintiff had not
20
properly exhausted Grievance 431502. Dkt. 182 at 19-24. Specifically, as to McGarvie and the
21
22
Commonwealth Defendants, Magistrate Judge Baxter found that Plaintiff, with his handwritten
final appeal, did not submit to SOIGA either of his initial 431502 Grievances nor their
23
24
25
subsequent denials and appeals. Id. at 21 (citing Varner Aff. ¶ ¶ 3-6). Having not complied with
the Grievance System detailed in DC-ADM, Magistrate Judge Baxter found that Plaintiff did not
4
Smith, in her denial, further noted that Plaintiff had been scheduled to see the orthopedic doctor five days before
Plaintiff removed—and Burkhart confiscated—the splint. Plaintiff, however, “refused” to go to his appointment.
Dkt. 118, Ex. 10. Smith scheduled another consultation for Plaintiff with the orthopedic surgeon. Id.
7

2
3
properly exhaust the grievance procedure for his medical claims against the Commonwealth
Defendants and McGarvie. Id.
Plaintiff, in his Objections, continues to assert that in regards to 431502, Plaintiff’s “full
4
compliance” with the Grievance System procedures was “impossible.”
5
Specifically, Plaintiff asserts, grievants must attach to any grievance involving confiscated

Dkt. 184 at 6-7.
property a “Confiscated Items Receipt.” Id. at 6 (citing DC-ADM 804 §§ 1(b)(11), 2(A)(2)(h)).
Burkhart, however, in his deposition, testified that he never filled out a Confiscated Items
Receipt, thereby making it impossible for Plaintiff to have submitted one with his Grievance. Id.
10
at 6-7 (citing Burkhart Dep. at 59:13-19). SOIGA, at the final stage, dismissed Plaintiff’s appeal,
11
informing him that he had not provided the required documentation. Id.
12
Objections, contends that the missing documentation to which SOIGA refers, was the (non-
13
existent) Confiscated Items Receipt. Dkt. 184 at 6-7. Grievants, Plaintiff asserts, need only avail
14
15
16
17
18
Plaintiff, in his
themselves of “available” administrative remedies in order to properly exhaust their claims. Id.
(citing Mitchell v. Horn, 318 F.3d 523, 529 (3d Cir. 2003)). Thus, Plaintiff argues, in submitting
to SOIGA the 431502 documentation that he had, Plaintiff properly exhausted his administrative
remedies in regards to Grievance 431502. Id. Plaintiff mischaracterizes the record.
19
The Chief Grievance Officer of SOIGA, in her affidavit, swears that SOIGA dismissed
20
Grievance 431502 because Plaintiff “sent this Office only his handwritten appeal argument . . .
21
22
[and] failed to provide any of the underlying grievance, initial review, appeal to facility manager,
or facility manager’s decision[.]” Varner Aff. ¶ ¶ 4, 6. Thus, the Confiscated Items Receipt (or
23
24
25
lack thereof) was immaterial to Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Grievance System
procedures. See id. Moreover, the record is clear that Plaintiff had properly exhausted at least
8
1
2
two other Grievances.5
The record also makes clear that, in response to an unrelated appeal,
Plaintiff received from SOIGA a letter informing him of the specific documentation required to
3
receive a final meritorious review.6 Accordingly, there can be no doubt that Plaintiff knew of
4
what the required documentation consisted, and that he knew how to properly submit it SOIGA.
5
See Dkt. 118, Exs. 11, 23, 24.
6
7
8
9
Plaintiff, in his Objections, urges the Court not to “credit” SOIGA’s Chief Grievance
Officer’s affidavit because of “evidence . . . indicating that prison officials made the final appeal
process unavailable to [Plaintiff].” Id. at 8. Plaintiff does not, however, provide the Court with
10
any such “evidence” that demonstrates that appellate process “unavailable” to him generally, or
11
in regards to Grievance 431502. See generally id. A review of the record similarly provides
12
none. Moreover, as previously stated, Plaintiff properly exhausted at least two other grievances
13
during the relevant time period. See Dkt. 118, Exs. 11, 23.
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
Plaintiff further objects that this Affidavit “cannot prove that, even if the underlying
appeal documents were in the file, SOIGA would have decided [Plaintiff’s] appeal on the
merits[.]” Dkt. 184 at 8. The relevant inquiry, however is not how SOIGA would have ruled;
instead, it is whether Plaintiff properly complied with the Grievance System procedures by
5
Plaintiff properly exhausted Grievance 422147, which forms the basis of his excessive force claim (Count I). See
Dkt. 118, Ex. 11. Specifically, in Grievance 422147, filed on July 27, 2012, Plaintiff alleged that Defendant Gatto
used excessive force against him on July 23, 2012. Dkt. 118, Ex. 11. Having received initial and intermediate
denials, Plaintiff appealed to SOIGA. SOIGA, having received and reviewed “the entire record of this [G]rievance,”
denied as non-meritorious Plaintiff’s Grievance. Id.
Plaintiff also properly exhausted Grievance 447997, which he filed on February 12, 2013. Specifically, in
447997, Plaintiff complained generally of pain and that he was receiving only Motrin. Dkt. 117, Ex. 23. Having
received initial and intermediate denials, Plaintiff appealed to SOIGA. SOIGA, having received and reviewed “the
entire record of this [G]rievance,” and having solicited input from the Bureau of Health Care Services, denied as
non-meritorious Plaintiff’s Grievance.
6
In response to Plaintiff’s final appeal of Grievance 428449, SOIGA informed Plaintiff that his Grievance had been
marked “File Without Action/ Pending,” and alerted Plaintiff that he needed to submit a “legible copy of [his] initial
grievance;” an “initial review response/ rejection;” a “legible copy of [his intermediate] appeal to Facility Manage;”
and the “Facility Manager’s decision/ response.” The record does not indicate that Plaintiff took any further action
as to this Grievance. Dkt. 118, Ex. 24.
9
1
2
submitting the required document to SOIGA. See, e.g., Spruill v. Gillis, 372 F.3d 218, 231 (3d
Cir. 2004). Here, all administrative remedies were available to Plaintiff; and proper exhaustion
3
required that Plaintiff submit to SOIGA Grievance 431502 and the corresponding intermediate
4
denials and appeals. See id.; DC-ADM 804 § II. Accordingly, Plaintiff did not properly exhaust
5
Grievance 431502, and, therefore, his medical claims contained in Count II. See, e.g., Nyhuis v.
6
7
8
9
Reno, 204 F.3d 65, 67 (3d Cir. 2000). Thus, Magistrate Judge Baxter correctly recommended
that the Court grant summary judgment as to Plaintiff’s medical claims against McGarvie and the
Commonwealth Defendants.
10
2. Plaintiff’s Claims Against Corizon
11
Corizon, in its Objections, asserts that the R&R “failed to apply the reasoning and
12
determination that [P]laintiff failed to exhaust the grievance process to Corizon[.]” Dkt. 183 at 1-
13
3. Plaintiff, in response, asserts that unlike the Commonwealth Defendants and McGarvie,
14
15
16
17
Corizon, in its motion for summary judgment, “did not even mention [exhaustion], let alone
establish Corizon’s entitlement to summary judgment on that basis.” Dkt. 187 at 3 (citing
Corizon’s Mot. Summ. J., Dkt. 137, and Corizon’s Reply, Dkt. 187). Accordingly, Plaintiff
18
asserts, Corizon waived its right to this affirmative defense. Id. at 2-5. Corizon counters that in
19
its motion for summary judgment, it “incorporated by reference arguments made by co-
20
defendants.” Dkt. 183 at 1 (citing Dkt. 137 at 13). Moreover, Corizon asserts, in its Answer, it
21
22
affirmatively pled Plaintiff’s failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. Id. (citing Dkt. 98 at
14-15).
23
24
25
Corizon did not clearly put before Magistrate Judge Baxter its argument that Plaintiff
failed to exhaust his claims against Corizon. See Corizon’s Mot. Summ. J., Dkt. 137.
Nevertheless, failure to exhaust is an affirmative defense that Corizon pled in its Answer. Jones
10
1
2
v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 216 (2007); Dkt. 98 at 14-15. The PLRA’s exhaustion requirement is
clear, and it applies to all suits involving prison life. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b)(1); Porter v. Nussle,
3
534 U.S. 516 (2002). Moreover, Corizon is “a business corporation hired by the PA DOC to
4
provide health care to the inmates at SCI Forest.” Compl., Dkt. 90 ¶ 16. Accordingly, it has no
5
role in grievance record-keeping. Thus, though Corizon could have more obviously and artfully
6
7
8
9
incorporated by reference its exhaustion defense, it would have been cumulative for Corizon to
fully brief in its motion for summary judgment Plaintiff’s failure to exhaust when the
Commonwealth Defendants and McGarvie had done so already. Plaintiff’s claims against
10
Corizon stem from Grievance 431502. See Pl’s. Opp’n to Commonwealth Defs’. Mot. Summ. J.,
11
Dkt. 147 at 26-27; Pl’s. Opp’n to McGarvie Mot. Summ. J., Dkt. 151 at 6-7; see generally Pl’s.
12
Objs., Dkt. 184; Pl’s. Resp. to Corizon’s Objs., Dkt. 187. For the reasons the Magistrate Judge
13
already found, therefore, Plaintiff did not properly exhaust the grievance procedure for his
14
15
16
medical claims against Corizon. See, e.g., Nyhuis v. Reno, 204 F.3d 65, 67 (3d Cir. 2000). Thus,
as to Count II, the Court grants summary judgment for Corizon.
