United States Ninth Circuit

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action alleging that prison officials' deliberate indifference contributed to a violent assault on plaintiff by inmates, dismissal of the complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies is affirmed where the grievance filed by plaintiff was insufficient to put prison officials on notice of plaintiff's complaint that prison-staff conduct contributed to his assault.
