“The PLRA requires exhaustion of ‘such administrative remedies as are available.’ Thus, even if I were to dismiss Morris’s claims, no administrative remedies are ‘available’ to her because she is no longer a prisoner; Morris could simply refile her § 1983 claims unaffected by the PLRA’s exhaustion requirement .... [Considerations of judicial efficiency and economy advise against dismissal of Morris’s claims.”
