James B. Skipwith, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     James B. Skipwith appeals from the district court’s order

dismissing, without prejudice, his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp.

2000) complaint for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

Based on the information before the district court, the court

properly dismissed the action for failure to exhaust. Accordingly,

we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.       Skipwith v.

Southside Community Servs. Bd., No. CA-01-27-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 17,

2001).    We decline to consider in the first instance Skipwith’s

allegations of exhaustion submitted after the district court’s

order.*   We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                           AFFIRMED




     *
       We note that Skipwith may be able to file a motion in the
district court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b).
