Before BYE, RILEY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                            ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Inmate Lawrence Martin Edwards appeals following the district court’s1 entry
of final judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The only issue Edwards raises in his
appeal brief is whether summary judgment was properly granted to defendants Chuck
Dwyer and Tori Green. See Fair v. Norris, 480 F.3d 865, 869 (8th Cir. 2007) (waiver
of claims on appeal). Having conducted de novo review, see Popoalii v. Corr. Med.
Servs., 512 F.3d 488, 499 (8th Cir. 2008), we agree with the district court that the
record showed Edwards had not administratively exhausted his claims against Green
and Dwyer, and thus that dismissal was required. See Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199,
211, 219-20 (2007) (unexhausted claims cannot be brought in court or considered);
see also Moody v. St. Charles County, 23 F.3d 1410, 1412 (8th Cir. 1994) (in seeking
to defeat summary judgment, party must substantiate allegations with sufficient
probative evidence permitting finding in his favor based on more than conjecture or
speculation). Accordingly we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, although we modify the
dismissal of the claims against Green and Dwyer to be without prejudice, see Calico
Trailer Mfg. Co. v. Ins. Co. of N. Am., 155 F.3d 976, 978 (8th Cir. 1998). We also
deny Edwards’s pending motions.
