Question Presented (from Petition)
Does the existence of the BOP's Administrative Remedy Program foreclose a Bivens action where prison officials prevent the inmate from accessing that program, as the Eleventh Circuit held below, or does barring a prisoner from accessing that alternative remedy allow a prisoner to pursue a Bivens claim, as the Fourth Circuit held in Fields v. Federal Bureau of Prisons, 109 F.4th 264 (4th Cir. 2024)?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
