The following excerpt is from Hoffmann v. Sherman, Case No.: 1:17-cv-00721-AWI-BAM (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2018):
substantive claim that he had attempted to exhaust through the prison's grievance system but for which he contends administrative remedies were effectively unavailable. Sapp v. Kimbrell, 623 F.3d 813, 822-23 (9th Cir. 2010) (administrative remedies plainly unavailable if grievance was screened out for improper reasons).
