PER CURIAM:
John L. Davis appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Confining our
review to the issues raised in the informal brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b), we have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. See also Hicks v. Ferreyra, 965 F.3d 302, 310 (4th
Cir. 2020) (“It is well established that this court does not consider issues raised for the first
time on appeal, absent exceptional circumstances.” (cleaned up)). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s judgment. 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.
AFFIRMED
