PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 20-1021 Page: 1 Date Filed: 05/27/2020 Entry ID: 4916847
In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Iowa inmate Jacque Louis Miller appeals the

district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment based on his failure to exhaust

administrative remedies. See Faulkner v. Douglas Cty. Neb., 906 F.3d 728, 732 (8th

Cir. 2018) (reviewing de novo grant of summary judgment); King v. Iowa Dep’t of

Corr., 598 F.3d 1051, 1052 (8th Circ. 2010) (reviewing de novo dismissal for failure

to exhaust administrative remedies). We agree with the district court that Miller did

not adequately counter defendants’ evidence showing that he did not exhaust

available administrative remedies before filing suit; and thus that dismissal was

required. See Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d 624, 627 (8th Cir. 2003) (dismissal is

mandatory if exhaustion was not completed at time of filing). The judgment is

affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
