Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Helena ____________
-2- Submitted: September 4, 2019 Filed: September 17, 2019 ____________
Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________
PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Larry Stephens appeals following the district court’s1 adverse judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Stephens raised claims regarding exposure to sewage floods in his cell, denial of cleaning supplies after flooding, and denial of access to showers after flooding, as well as several unrelated claims. The district court initially dismissed the unrelated claims without prejudice, and we find no abuse of discretion in this dismissal, see Strandlund v. Hawley, 532 F.3d 741, 745 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review). The district court then granted summary judgment on Stephens’s sewage-related claims, finding that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. We have reviewed the district court’s order and we find no error. Affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny Stephens’s motion for review of the prison video footage. ______________________________
1 The Honorable James M. Moody, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Beth Deere, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
