Miles v. Wells
Miles v. Wells
Opinion
Jamie Lamont Miles appeals the district court’s order 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 under section 1983 ... 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 Miles an opportunity to exhaust his administrative remedies, as required by § 1997e(a). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
