PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Russell Larson appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment
in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon careful de novo review, we affirm, as we
agree with the district court that Larson did not exhaust his administrative remedies
before filing suit. See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (prisoner may not bring action under
federal law until he has exhausted available administrative remedies); Smith v.
Andrews, 75 F.4th 805, 808 (8th Cir. 2023) (standard of review).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
