MIXON v. Jimenez; Metts, Doctor at Corcoran State Prison, Defendants-Appellees. (2021)

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Lendward Alton Mixon appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1168 (9th Cir. 2014) (en banc). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Mixon's action because Mixon failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing this action even though he was not satisfied with his temporary lower bunk accommodation. See McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199-2000 (9th Cir. 2002) (requiring inmates to exhaust administrative remedies prior to filing suit in federal court).

AFFIRMED.
