' Although it appears from later filings that Ms. Lambert may have fully exhausted her administrative remedies at this point, it is still apparent on the face of her Complaint that she failed to exhaust her claims prior to filing this case. See Compl. (Doc. 2) at 7, 12. The Court must therefore dismiss this case. Johnson v. Jones,

, 627 (8th Cir. 2003). The dismissal is without prejudice, however, which means Ms. Lambert may try to bring her claims in a new case if indeed she has now exhausted her administrative remedies and can fix the other deficiencies noted in the RD.
