Before BYE, MELLOY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Leonard Lee appeals the district court’s1 adverse judgment after a bench trial
in his Title VII action against the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human
Services. After carefully reviewing the record, we find no clear error in the district
court’s findings that Lee did not prove race discrimination, retaliation, or harassment.
See Tadlock v. Powell, 291 F.3d 541, 546 (8th Cir. 2002) (standard of review). We
also agree with the court that Lee did not exhaust his administrative remedies on his
claim that supervisors discriminated and retaliated against him by accusing him of
fraud in a worker’s compensation case. See Burkett v. Glickman, 327 F.3d 658, 660
(8th Cir. 2003).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
