FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JAN 17 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT CHESTER RAY WISEMAN, No. 11-55599 Plaintiff - Appellant, D.C. No. 3:08-cv-01272-LAB- NLS v. ROBERT J. HERNANDEZ, Warden; et MEMORANDUM * al., Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Larry A. Burns, District Judge, Presiding Submitted January 15, 2013 ** Before: SILVERMAN, BEA, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges. California state prisoner Chester Ray Wiseman appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that defendants violated his Eighth Amendment rights in connection with the denial of * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). outdoor exercise. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to exhaust and for clear error any underlying factual findings. Sapp v. Kimbrell, 623 F.3d 813, 821 (9th Cir. 2010). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Wiseman’s action without prejudice because Wiseman failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 93-95 (2006) (requiring proper and timely exhaustion of prisoner claims). The district court did not clearly err in finding that Wiseman failed to pursue all levels of administrative grievances available to him. Cf. Sapp, 623 F.3d at 822-23 (exhaustion is not required where administrative remedies are rendered “effectively unavailable”). AFFIRMED. 2 11-55599
