for the Eastern District of California
John A. Mendez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted June 26, 2012**
Before: SCHROEDER, HAWKINS, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.

failure to exhaust administrative remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act,

11-15877 2
42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review
de novo. Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1117 (9th Cir. 2003). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Segura’s action because Segura did not
properly exhaust administrative remedies before filing his complaint, and failed to
show that administrative remedies were effectively unavailable to him. See
Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 85, 93-95 (2006) (“proper exhaustion” is
mandatory and requires adherence to administrative procedural rules).
Segura’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
