What is the legal test for exhaustion in a motion for federal habeas relief?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Bretz v. U.S. Dist. Court, Case No. 1:20-cv-00663-JDP (E.D. Cal. 2020):

1. Although petitioner has filed his petition on a California state habeas petition form, we will consider his petition under 28 U.S.C. 2241, which is the proper vehicle for state pre-trial detainees seeking federal habeas relief. See McNeely v. Blanas, 336 F.3d 822, 824 n.1 (9th Cir. 2003).

2. Petitioner states "N/A" for all sections related to exhaustion in his petition.
