United States Ninth Circuit

In prisoner civil rights action, the district court's dismissal is reversed and the court held that a prisoner exhausts administrative remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. section 1997e, when his grievance is decided on the merits at all levels of administrative review despite failure to comply with a procedural rule.
