Is there any case law supporting an allegation that defendant failed to submit an appeal to the Court of Appeal?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Fratus v. Peterson, No. CV-08-1500-ROS (E.D. Cal. 2015):

Defendants argue Fratus did not submit a timely appeal regarding the January 10, 2007 incident. The sole support for this is that the prison's records do not reflect such an appeal being filed. But the facts show the prison's records are not reliable and the surrounding circumstances make it more likely than not that Fratus took all "reasonable appropriate steps to exhaust" his claim but he was prevented from doing so. Nunez v. Duncan, 591 F.3d 1217, 1224 (9th Cir. 2010).
