Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Adrienne C. Nelson, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted August 19, 2025**

Before: SILVERMAN, HURWITZ, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

Oregon state prisoner Enrique Zacarias Diaz 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 constitutional claims arising from his time in

disciplinary segregation. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review

de novo. Williams v. Paramo, 775 F.3d 1182, 1191 (9th Cir. 2015). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Diaz failed

to exhaust administrative remedies and failed to raise a genuine dispute of material

fact as to whether administrative remedies were unavailable to him. See Ross v.

Blake, 578 U.S. 632, 642-44 (2016) (explaining that an inmate must exhaust such

administrative remedies as are available before bringing suit, and describing

limited circumstances in which administrative remedies are unavailable);

Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 90 (2006) (“Proper exhaustion demands

compliance with an agency’s deadlines and other critical procedural rules[.]”).

AFFIRMED.
