PER CURIAM:

Marcus Smith appeals the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of

the magistrate judge and dismissing Smith’s complaint for failure to timely exhaust

administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. *

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Smith v. Lowes Cos., No. 3:21-cv-

000034-RJC-SCR (W.D.N.C. Aug. 30, 2023). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

* To the extent Smith seeks to supplement the record on appeal, we decline to consider evidence that was not presented to the district court. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(a); United States v. Redd,

85 F.4th 153

, 168 n.13 (4th Cir. 2023) (“[T]he proper setting for developing the record is in the district court, not this Court in the first instance.”).
