PER CURIAM: 

1Starr Dalton appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and 

dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint for failure to 

exhaust administrative remedies. We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we modify the 

dismissal of the action to be without prejudice and affirm as 

modified for the reasons stated by the district court. 

Dalton v. W. Va. Div. of Corr., No. 2:08-cv-01151 (S.D.W. Va. 

Aug. 25, 2009). We dispense with oral argument because the 

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the 

materials before the court and argument would not aid the 

decisional process. 

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
