PER CURIAM:
Kevin Johnathan Sorrick appeals the district court’s order denying numerous
motions and granting Defendants’ motions for summary judgment in this 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012) action. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny Sorrick’s motion to appoint counsel and affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. * Sorrick v. Manning, No. 8:16-cv-00709-TDC (D. Md.
Aug. 22, 2017). 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
*
Sorrick argues on appeal that administrative remedies were not available, and
therefore the district court should not have dismissed certain claims for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. However, the record demonstrates that Sorrick was able to
exhaust remedies for other claims, and effective remedies were similarly available for the
unexhausted claims. See Woodford v. Ngo,
548 U.S. 81, 90 (2006) (holding that proper
administrative exhaustion requires compliance with agency deadlines and key procedural
rules); Ross v. Blake,
136 S. Ct. 1850, 1858-60 (2016) (clarifying when administrative
remedies are deemed unavailable).
