PER CURIAM.

       Inmates Robert Maxwell and Princess Smith appeal the district court’s1
dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit following an evidentiary hearing. Upon
careful review of the record and of appellants’ arguments, see Choate v. Lockhart,
7 F.3d 1370, 1373 & n.1 (8th Cir. 1993) (reviewing factual findings for clear error,
and legal conclusions de novo), we find no basis for reversal. Because it would have
been impossible for Ms. Smith to exhaust her claim against defendant Deputy Willie
Owens before filing suit--as the incident with Mr. Owens had yet to occur--dismissal
of this claim on exhaustion grounds was mandatory. See Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d
624, 627 (8th Cir. 2003). Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, but we amend
the dismissal of Ms. Smith’s claim against Mr. Owens to be without prejudice.
                       ______________________________
