1 1 RULING AND oRDER 3
Pl%intiff Jamal Gulston, a Connecticut inmate, brings this
action pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 5
alleging that the Department of Correction has implanted in his
body a 1chip" that allows people to hear his thoughts and
manipulate his mind. He also alleges that his housing unit is
overcrowded and unsanitary. The action must be dismissed for
lfailureito exhaust administrative remedies.
I On§August 18, 2003, the court issued an order directing I
plainti%f to file an amended complaint providing evidence that he
has exhiusted his administrative remedies as required by the ;
Prison iitigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997(e). His amended
complaidt makes it clear that he has not exhausted his
adminisérative remedies. He alleges that he is being harassed i
for filing this and a previous suit and fears retaliation by \
correctional officers. Under § 1997(e}, exhaustion may be
excused only when "the relevant administrative procedure lacks , N
authoridy to provide any relief or to take any action whatsoever `
in respdnse to a complaint." Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 736
