-- 1 of 2 --

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Minnesota inmate Bobby Jefferson appeals the
district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment based on his failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. Having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on
appeal, we conclude the district court did not err in granting summary judgment. See
Odom v. Kaizer, 864 F.3d 920, 921 (8th Cir. 2017) (reviewing de novo grant of
summary judgment); see also King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 598 F.3d 1051, 1052 (8th
Cir. 2010) (reviewing de novo dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative
remedies); Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d 624, 627 (8th Cir. 2003) (noting an inmate
must exhaust administrative remedies before filing suit). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendation of the Honorable
Steven E. Rau, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota, now
