Text: 21 In Proposition IV of his opening brief in this case, Plaintiff argued that the district court made contradictory rulings in two separate opinions in two different cases, one of which gave rise to this appeal, and the other of which gave rise to Patel v. Regnier, No. 04-6291. Plaintiff contends that in the opinion giving rise to this appeal the district court dismissed the action on the premise that the Plaintiff could not be deemed to have exhausted his administrative remedies because he filed a Request after he was transferred to a different prison instead of at the institution where the violations occurred. Plaintiff argues that in the opinion giving rise to Regnier, by contrast, the district court stated that Plaintiff would be allowed to re-file his Request at a transferee prison because the BOP had indicated a willingness to let appellant pursue his grievances in that way. 22 Plaintiff later withdrew his appeal in Regnier, and on December 16, 2004, we struck anything related to the fourth proposition of Plaintiff's opening brief in this case. On January 18, 2005, Plaintiff filed a motion asking us to reconsider our order striking anything related to the fourth proposition that he raised in his opening brief. We rule in this opinion that Plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies because he did not timely file a written Administrative Remedy Request. This ruling has nothing to do with the alleged inconsistency between the district court's decision giving rise to this appeal and the court's decision giving rise to Regnier that Plaintiff highlights in the fourth proposition of his opening brief. Accordingly, we have no occasion to revisit our order of December 16 striking anything related to the fourth proposition that Plaintiff raised in his opening brief and DENY Plaintiff's motion to reconsider. 7 23 Plaintiff also moves to supplement the record to add the district court opinion giving rise to Regnier. In light of our denial of Plaintiff's motion to reconsider, we DENY this motion to supplement the record as moot. 8
