Before WOLLMAN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MELLOY, Circuit
      Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.

      William Marshall appeals from the district court’s adverse grant of summary
judgment and dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim. The district
court determined that Marshall failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as
required under 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). Because Marshall was not incarcerated or
detained when he filed his complaint, we reverse and remand to the district court to
consider his case on its merits. See Doe v. Washington County, 

, 924
(8th Cir. 1998). We decline to affirm the judgment on a basis not considered by the
district court. See Cavegn v. Twin City Pipe Trades Pension Plan, 

, 831
(8th Cir. 2000). We also deny Marshall’s pending motion.

      A true copy.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
