PER CURIAM:

              1Starr    Dalton      appeals       the    district      court’s    order

accepting      the     recommendation        of    the       magistrate   judge       and

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint for failure to

exhaust administrative remedies.                  We have reviewed the record

and   find    no     reversible     error.        Accordingly,       we   modify      the

dismissal of the action to be without prejudice and affirm as

modified      for     the     reasons     stated        by   the    district     court.

Dalton v. W. Va. Div. of Corr., No. 2:08-cv-01151 (S.D.W. Va.

Aug. 25, 2009).             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 AS MODIFIED
