    Before MURPHY, COLLOTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
    ___________
    PER CURIAM.
    Federal inmate Michael Duane Marlin appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant
    of summary judgment in his action brought under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named
    1
    The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
    the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting in part the report and recommendations of
    the Honorable John F. Forster, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern
    District of Arkansas.
    Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 
    403 U.S. 388
    (1971). Having carefully reviewed
    the record and considered Marlin’s arguments, we find no basis for reversal. See
    Popoalii v. Corr. Med. Servs., 
    512 F.3d 488
    , 499 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review).
    However, the claims against defendant E. Taylor arose from alleged failures that
    occurred shortly before the instant lawsuit was filed, and thus Marlin could not have
    administratively exhausted those claims before filing suit and dismissal was required.
    See Johnson v. Jones, 
    340 F.3d 624
    , 626-28 (8th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, we affirm,
    but we revise the dismissal of the claims against defendant Taylor to be without
    prejudice. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Marlin’s motion for appointment of
    counsel.
