Administrative Exhaustion Required in Suits for Damages
The plaintiff claimed that he did not understand the grievance system, but undisputed evidence showed that it was explained specifically to him, including the requirement that he informally raise the problem first with the responsible official.
At 551: "The Warden [of the prison where plaintiff is now held] will be directed to advise plaintiff as to how he can now exhaust his administrative remedies The question whether plaintiff may refile his suit if now precluded from utilizing the VDOC grievance system is neither reached, nor decided at this time" See: Langford v. Couch, 50 F.Supp.2d 544 (E.D.Va. 1999).
