Does a cancellation of an administrative grievance constitute a failure to properly exhaust the remedy?

Defendant's undisputed evidence establishes that plaintiff filed an initial grievance, two letters contesting the cancellation of his initial grievance, and a third level appeal, all of which were cancelled. "A cancellation . . . decision does not exhaust administrative remedies." Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15, 3084.1(b). Therefore, plaintiff did not properly exhaust his claim. See Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81 (2006) (exhaustion requires that the prisoner complete the administrative review process in accordance with all applicable procedural rules).
