                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
      Arkansas inmate Kevin D. Jones appeals the district court’s1grant of summary
judgment to defendants based on his failure to exhaust administrative remedies in this
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Upon de novo review, we agree with the district court’s
determination that Jones’s claims were unexhausted. See Faulkner v. Douglas Cty.,
Neb., 
906 F.3d 728
, 732 (8th Cir. 2018) (reviewing de novo grant of summary
judgment); see also King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 
598 F.3d 1051
, 1052 (8th Cir. 2010)
(reviewing de novo dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative remedies); Johnson
v. Jones, 
340 F.3d 624
, 627 (8th Cir. 2003) (dismissal is required if inmate has not
exhausted administrative remedies before filing federal suit). The judgment is
affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                       ______________________________
