The Supreme Court held that parties are entitled to a jury trial on Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) exhaustion when that issue is intertwined with the merits of a claim that requires a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment. The Court construed the PLRA to require a jury trial in such cases, finding that the statute's silence on the matter indicates Congress intended to follow the usual practice of sending factual disputes intertwined with the merits to a jury.
