United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

KENNETH SYNCERE RIVERA, a/k/a KENNETH D. RIVERA, a/k/a KENNETH RIVERA, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. BRYAN P. STIRLING, Director; ELBERT PEARSON, S.I.U.; LIEUTENANT SKIPPER, Contraband; MR. MCFADDEN, Warden; MS. RAVENELL, I.C.C.; MICHAEL R. MATTHEWS, Defendants - Appellees.

No. 16-7137

Decided: December 22, 2016

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and WYNN and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Kenneth Syncere Rivera, Appellant Pro Se. Stephanie Holmes Burton, GIBBES & BURTON, LLC, Spartanburg, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Kenneth Syncere Rivera appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. Because the record discloses that Rivera failed to properly exhaust his administrative remedies as required under 42 U.S.C. § 1997e (2012), we affirm the dismissal without prejudice of his complaint. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
