Rathbun

MEMORANDUM **

Charles Rathbun, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Wyatt v. Terhune, 305 F.3d 1033, 1042 (9th Cir.2002). We vacate and remand.

Our intervening decision in Wyatt dictates that we vacate and remand because it is not clear on the face of the amended complaint and exhibits thereto that Rathbun failed to exhaust. See id. at 1044 (holding that failure to exhaust is an affirmative defense that must be raised and proved by the defendant).

VACATED and REMANDED.
