CASE LAW ON EXHAUSTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES
Exhaustion of administrative remedies cannot be a prerequisite to filing suit when filing suit is
itself a prerequisite to exhausting those administrative remedies. Because ERS does not
have exclusive jurisdiction of this claim, the court of appeals’ opinion does not conflict with
any of our own, so we dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction.
