The following excerpt is from Fonseca v. CDCR, Case No. 14cv787-LAB (BLM) (S.D. Cal. 2015):

An inmate must submit his or her appeal "within 30 calendar days of: (1) The occurrence of the event or decision being appealed, or; (2) Upon first having knowledge of the action or decision being appealed, or; (3) Upon receiving an unsatisfactory departmental response to an appeal filed." Id. 3084.8(b). The inmate may initiate litigation in federal court "only after the administrative process ends and leaves his grievances unredressed." Vaden v. Summerhill, 449 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th Cir. 2006). "Administrative remedies shall not be considered exhausted relative to any new issue, information, or person later named by the appellant that was not included in the originally submitted CDCR Form 602 . . . , and addressed through all required levels of administrative review up to and including the third level." Cal. Code Regs. tit. 15, 3084.1(b).
