Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Gural Foster appeals after the District Court1 dismissed his amended complaint
apparently challenging the discontinuation of Supplemental Security Income
payments. The complaint was dismissed without prejudice based on Foster’s failure
to exhaust his administrative remedies. Upon de novo review, we conclude that the
dismissal was proper. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (providing for judicial review of final
decisions of the Commissioner of Social Security); Schoolcraft v. Sullivan, 

, 84–85 (8th Cir. 1992) (“In order for the district court to have subject matter
jurisdiction under section 405(g), a claimant must have presented a claim for benefits
to the Secretary and exhausted the administrative remedies prescribed by the
Secretary.” (footnote omitted)), cert. denied, 

(1994); see also Sipp v.
Astrue, 

, 979 (8th Cir. 2011) (standard of review). Accordingly, we
affirm.
                        ______________________________
