Kenneth A. Hinton, John Cunningham, Appellants Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Kenneth A. Hinton and John Cunningham appeal the district

court’s orders dismissing without prejudice their 42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000) complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies and

a subsequent order denying their Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 motion for

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Hinton v. Scott, No. CA-02-944-5-F

(E.D.N.C. filed July 17, 2003 & entered July 18, 2003; filed Aug.

6, 2003 & entered Aug. 11, 2003). We 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
