Christopher EVERETT Plaintiff-Appellant v. Larry RING, Police Officer Batesville PD; Martin, Jailer, Independence County Jail Defendants Bobby Tate, Deputy, Independence County Sheriff's Department; Jeffrey Tate, Jailer, Batesville Police Department; Sissy Wilson, Jail Administrator, Independence County Jail; Shawn Stevens, Sheriff, Independence County Defendants-Appellees
[Unpublished]
Arkansas prisoner Christopher Everett appeals the district court's 1 grant of summary judgment dismissing his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies.
Having carefully reviewed the record, see Gibson v. Weber, 431 F.3d 339, 341 (8th Cir. 2005) (standard of review), we conclude that no genuine dispute of material fact exists as to whether Everett exhausted the administrative remedies available to him prior to filing suit, see 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (stating that no action shall be brought with respect to prison conditions under § 1983 by a prisoner until available administrative remedies are exhausted); Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d 624, 627 (8th Cir. 2003) (stating that an inmate must exhaust all available administrative remedies before filing suit in federal court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
