-- 1 of 2 --

Pretrial detainee Vincel Chambers appeals following the district court’s1 grant
of summary judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies.
Having carefully reviewed the record, see Said v. Mayo Clinic, 44 F.4th 1142,
1147 (8th Cir. 2022) (standard of review), we conclude that no genuine dispute of
material fact exists as to whether Chambers exhausted available administrative
remedies, see 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (stating that no action shall be brought with
respect to prison conditions under § 1983 by a prisoner until available administrative
remedies are exhausted); Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d 624, 627 (8th Cir. 2003) (stating
that an inmate must exhaust all available administrative remedies before filing suit
in federal court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
