Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.
California state prisoner Craig Wimberly appeals pro se from the district
court’s summary judgment for failure to exhaust administrative remedies in his 42
* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging retaliation. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291
2015). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendant Cuevas
because Wimberly failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as required by the
Prison Litigation Reform Act, and failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact
as to whether administrative remedies were effectively unavailable to him. See
Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15, § 3084.2(a) (2019); Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 218
(2007) (the level of detail necessary in a grievance to comply with the grievance
procedures is “defined not by the PLRA, but by the prison grievance process
itself”); see also Ross v. Blake, 578 U.S. 632, 642-44 (2016) (setting forth
circumstances when administrative remedies are effectively unavailable).
AFFIRMED.
