Does the exhaustion of administrative remedies doctrine apply in situations where the courts lack initial jurisdiction?

Nonetheless, as explained in Bozaich v. State of California (1973) 32 Cal.App.3d 688, 698, the exhaustion of administrative remedies doctrine, and thus its exceptions, is a court-created doctrine, grounded on the determination that although the courts have jurisdiction to adjudicate a dispute, they have chosen to defer to an administrative tribunal in the interest of preserving judicial resources. Thus, the doctrine has no application in situations where the courts lack initial jurisdiction.
