from an assault by other inmates. Upon careful de novo review, we conclude that, for

the reasons explained by the district court, the court not err in (1) dismissing three 1

defendants without prejudice based onBowden’s failure to exhaust his administrative

remedies, see 42 U.S.C. § 1997(e); King v. Iowa Dep’t of Corr., 598 F.3d 1051,

10532 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review); and (2) granting summary judgment for

the remaining two defendants, see Whitson v. Stone Cnty. Jail, 602 F.3d 920, 923

(8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review and elements of failure-to-protect case). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
