PER CURIAM:

Allan A. Petersen, a federal prisoner, filed a civil

rights complaint pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of

the Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Petersen

appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation to dismiss his retaliation claim for failure to

state a claim upon which relief may be granted and the remaining

claims without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative

remedies. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. Petersen v. Gutierrez, No. 3:06-cv-00072-IMK (N.D.

W. Va. Mar. 30, 2007). 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
