PER CURIAM.
Alan Doering appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment. After careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal,
we conclude that the district court properly granted summary judgment. See De
Rossitte v. Correct Care Sols., LLC, 22 F.4th 796, 802 (8th Cir. 2022) (de novo
review of grant of summary judgment); see also King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 598
F.3d 1051, 1052 (8th Cir. 2010) (dismissal for failure to exhaust remedies is reviewed
de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the motion for
oral argument.
