Before LUTTIG, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
William L. Crawford, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
- 2 - PER CURIAM:
William L. Crawford appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint without prejudice for failure
to exhaust administrative remedies. “No action shall be brought
with respect to prison conditions . . . by a prisoner confined in
any jail, prison, or other correctional facility until such
administrative remedies as are available are exhausted.” 42 U.S.C.
§ 1997e(a) (2000). We find no abuse of discretion in the district
court’s dismissal of the complaint without prejudice to allow
Crawford an opportunity to exhaust his administrative remedies, as
required by § 1997e(a). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. We deny Crawford’s motion for the appointment of
counsel and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
