    Filed: Feb. 2, 2016.
    James Mcalphin, Marianna, AR, pro se.
    Michelle Banks Odum, Humphries & Odum, White Hall, AR, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before SMITH, BYE, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate James McAlphin appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We find no basis for reversal. Specifically, we agree with the district court that McAIphin failed to state a claim against numerous defendants, see Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir.2000) (per curiam) (de novo review of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) dismissal); Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir.1999) (per curiam) (de novo review of dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); that the claims against Dr. Don Ball should be dismissed for lack of administrative exhaustion, see King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 598 F.3d 1051, 1052 (8th Cir.2010) (de novo review); and that summary judgment was warranted on the claims against Dr. Nwannem Obi-Okoye and APN Geraldine Campbell, see Peterson v. Kopp, 754 F.3d 594, 598 (8th Cir.2014) (de novo review). The judgment of the district court is affirmed, and McAl-phin’s appellate motions for counsel are denied. 
      
      . The Honorable D.P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable Joe J. Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
