Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Edward Thomas appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to exhaust administrative remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act ("PLRA"). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1117 (9th Cir.2003), and we vacate and remand in light of intervening authority.
Without specifying whether it found each claim exhausted, the district court dismissed the entire action on the ground that Thomas failed to exhaust some claims before filing. We vacate the order and remand for reconsideration in light of Jones v. Bock, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 910, 923-26, 166 L.Ed.2d 798 (2007) (holding an inmate's compliance with PLRA exhaustion requirement as to some, but not all, claims does not warrant dismissal of entire action, and "exhaustion is not per se inadequate simply because an individual later sued was not named in the grievances"). On remand, the court may also consider Woodford v. Ngo, — U.S.-, 126 S.Ct. 2378, 165 L.Ed.2d 368 (2006) in determining whether specific claims were exhausted.
The parties shall bear their own costs on appeal.
VACATED and REMANDED.
