MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Perry Robert Avila, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging prison officials violated his First Amendment rights by preventing him from receiving magazines and books containing nudity. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1117 (9th Cir. 2003), and we vacate and remand, in light of intervening authority.
The district court dismissed the entire action after concluding Avila failed to exhaust some claims before filing. We vacate the order and remand for reconsideration in light of Jones v. Bock, ___ U.S. ___, 127 S.Ct. 910, 923-26, 166 L.Ed.2d 798 (2007) (holding an inmate's compliance with PLRA exhaustion requirement as to some, but not all, claims does not warrant dismissal of entire action).
We deny all pending motions.
The parties shall bear their own costs on appeal.
