Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Arkansas inmate Donald X. Brown appeals the district court's preservice dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as barred by the "three-strikes" provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). We grant Brown leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and we remand to the district court.
We review de novo a district court's determination of qualifying strikes. See Rivera v. Allin, 144 F.3d 719, 723 (11th Cir.1998). After reviewing the relevant documents from the cases the district court counted as strikes, we conclude that the two dismissals for failure to exhaust prison grievance procedures—Brown v. Jorgenson, No. 5:98CV00245, and Brown v. Mobley, No. 4:01CV00302—do not count as strikes. While we express no opinion as to whether Brown's other dismissals count as strikes under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), the record before us establishes Brown can have no more than two strikes.
Accordingly, we remand to the district court for further proceedings. We deny Brown's motion for appellate counsel.
