Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

     Kenneth Syncere Rivera appeals the district court’s order

denying    relief    on     his    42   U.S.C.    § 1983     (2012)     complaint.

Because    the    record    discloses    that    Rivera     failed    to    properly

exhaust his administrative remedies as required under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1997e (2012), we affirm the dismissal without prejudice of his

complaint.       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.



                                                                            AFFIRMED
