Before McMILLIAN, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________
PER CURIAM.

       Jimmy Eugene Harris, an Arkansas inmate, appeals from the district court’s1
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to exhaust administrative
remedies under 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). Having carefully reviewed the record and the
parties’ briefs, we affirm on the basis that Harris&s complaint failed to state a claim of
deliberate indifference to his medical needs by prison authorities. See Farmer v.
Brennan, 511 U.S. 825 (1994).

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court without further
discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

      1
       The Honorable Stephen M. Reasoner, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
