PER CURIAM.
Michael Frazier claims a correction-center nurse withheld his medications.
He did not, however, establish that he appealed the denial of his administrative
grievances before suing. See Smith v. Andrews, 75 F.4th 805, 808 (8th Cir. 2023)
(explaining the exhaustion requirement and applying de novo review); see also
Awnings v. Fullerton, 912 F.3d 1089, 1098–99 (8th Cir. 2019) (recognizing that
unsupported allegations are not enough to avoid summary judgment). We
accordingly affirm the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment in the nurse’s
favor. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

Ervin, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
