Comstock, 560 U.S. 126, 130 S.Ct. 1949, 1954, 176 L.Ed.2d 878 (2010); United States v. Caporale, 701 F.3d 128, 130 (4th Cir.2012); United States v. Wooden, 693 F.3d 440, 442-43 (4th Cir.2012); United States v. Francis, 686 F.3d 265, 268 (4th Cir.2012); United States v. Timms, 664 F.3d 436, 456 (4th Cir.2012); United States v. Broncheau, 645 F.3d 676, 683 (4th Cir.2011). Thus, they argue that their claims are not subject to the PLRA’s mandatory exhaustion requirement. See Hicks v. James, 255 Fed.Appx. 744, 748 (4th Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (unpublished) (collecting cases); Michau v. Charleston Cnty., S.C., 434 F.3d 725, 727-28 (4th Cir.2006) (<HOLDING>).
