PER CURIAM.
Arkansas prisoner Christopher Everett appeals the district court’s1 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.
