In an action brought by a plaintiff who asserts that he was severely beaten by deputy sheriffs while he was being detained in a holding cell, grant of summary judgment to defendants on grounds that plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), 42 U.S.C. section 1997e(a), is vacated where defendants have failed to establish as a matter of law that administrative remedies were available to plaintiff.
