The high court ruled that for Section 1983 claims challenging delays in the administrative process, state courts can’t deny those claims on failure-to-exhaust grounds.
The nation’s high court held in a different unanimous opinion that when a plaintiff amends a complaint to delete federal-law claims, leaving only state-law claims behind, the case must be remanded to state court.
