prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to exhaust administrative

        The Honorable James E. Gritzner, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
remedies. We reviewed the district court’s fact findings for clear error and its
conclusions of law de novo, and conclude that dismissal was proper for the reasons
stated by the district court. See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (no action shall be brought with
respect to prison conditions until such administrative remedies as are available are
exhausted); Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d 624, 626 (8th Cir. 2003) (standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
