Defendants-Appellees
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:03-CV-578
Before GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Kermit Parker, Louisiana prisoner # 129332, alleged under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 that prison officials used excessive force and were deliberately indifferent
to his medical needs. Parker appeals the district court’s judgment that granted
summary judgment and dismissed his claims against Major Nettles for failure
to exhaust administrative remedies. Parker has not briefed any challenge to the
dismissal of his claims against any defendant other than Nettles. Accordingly,

he has abandoned these issues. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224-25 (5th
Cir. 1993).
We review the grant of summary judgment de novo. See Whittaker v.
BellSouth Telecomms., Inc., 206 F.3d 532, 534 (5th Cir. 2000). A prisoner may
not bring a civil rights action “until such administrative remedies as are
available are exhausted.” 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a).
Competent summary judgment evidence established, and there is no
competent summary judgment evidence to the contrary, that Parker did not
exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing this action. Accordingly, the
district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
