Description
Frederick Bellamy, an inmate in a North Carolina state prison, brought a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 charging the prison officials with deliberate indifference to harm caused by dishwashing detergent he is being forced to use in a job assignment at the prison. On October 1, 1990, a magistrate judge ordered plaintiff to complete a form designed to show whether the case had been exhausted under the Inmate Grievance Procedure. Plaintiff sent a timely response indicating he had not exhausted the Inmate Grievance Procedure. The reasons he gave for not exhausting that procedure were that he did not know exhaustion was required, he sought medical attention, and the Food Service Director was aware of his injuries. No order was issued below directing Bellamy to exhaust administrative channels pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1997e.
