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

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Griffin v. State, No. 2:20-cv-0256-EFB (E.D. Cal. 2020):

1. The court notes that, because this action is a habeas action, petitioner is obligated to exhaust his state court remedies on any claims he seeks to present to this court. This means that petitioner must present those claims to the state's highest court before he may seek relief here. Picard v. Connor, 404 U.S. 270, 276 (1971); 28 U.S.C. 2254(b)(1). It is not clear from the original pleading whether petitioner has completed state court exhaustion with respect to the claims he presents in this action.
