The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). from the district court’s summary judgment for failure to exhaust administrative remedies in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging excessive force, sexual assault, and deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1168 (9th Cir. 2014) (en banc). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Moore failed to exhaust administrative remedies as required under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”) and failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether administrative remedies were effectively unavailable to him. See Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 90 (2006) (the PLRA requires “proper exhaustion,” which means “using all steps the agency holds out, and doing so properly” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); see also Ross v. Blake, 136 S. Ct. 1850, 1860 (2016) (describing the limited circumstances under which administrative remedies may be effectively unavailable).
AFFIRMED.
