2 PER CURIAM:

Curtis Q. Owens appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his

(2006) complaint. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm on the district court’s reasoning that Owens failed to

properly exhaust available administrative remedies as to his

claims of constitutional magnitude as required by 42 U.S.C.

§ 1997e(a) (2006). Owens v. Jefferson, No. 0:09-cv-02888-TLW

(D.S.C. Aug. 10, 2010). 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
