Before COLLOTON, BOWMAN, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.
        Federal inmate Lennora Banks-Davis appeals after the district court1 denied her
relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We
agree with the district court that Banks-Davis was not entitled to relief. In this
proceeding, she could challenge only the execution of her sentence. She was required
first to exhaust her administrative remedies, but she failed to do so. See Mathena v.
United States, 

, 946 (8th Cir. 2009); see also Abdullah v. Hedrick, 

, 959 (8th Cir. 2004). We conclude, however, that the petition should have
been dismissed without prejudice. See 

. Accordingly, we
modify the judgment to reflect that Banks-Davis’s section 2241 petition is dismissed
without prejudice, see 28 U.S.C. § 2106, and we affirm the judgment as modified.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
