PER CURIAM:

      Tracey Terrell Grady appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants

summary judgment in Grady’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action and dismissing the action

due to Grady’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Although Grady argues that prison officials thwarted his

efforts to pursue an institutional grievance pertaining to the challenged incident, the

district court properly rejected that contention as inconsistent with both the record and

Grady’s earlier version of the facts. See Ross v. Blake, __ U.S. __, 136 S. Ct. 1850,

1858-60 (2016) (clarifying when administrative remedies are deemed unavailable).

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.       See Grady v.

Williams, No. 5:16-ct-03027-D (E.D.N.C. Jan. 22, 2018).          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.
