Russell Larson appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his pro se 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.

See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (prisoner may not bring action under federal law until he has exhausted available administrative remedies); Smith v. Andrews, 75 F.4th 805, 808 (8th Cir. 2023) (standard of review).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
