PER CURIAM:

             Daniel E. Felix filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action

in the district court, complaining of certain conditions of his

confinement at Deerfield Correctional Center in Virginia.             The

district court dismissed the action after concluding that Felix

failed to exhaust his administrative remedies, as required by 42

U.S.C.   §   1997e(a)   (2000).   On   appeal,   Felix   challenges   this

holding.

             We conclude that Felix has sufficiently demonstrated his

exhaustion of administrative remedies.      Therefore, we reverse the

decision of the district court and remand the case for further

proceedings.    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.

                                                                REVERSED

                                  - 3 -
