PER CURIAM:
Donald Wells, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s
order dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West
Supp. 2000) complaint for failure to exhaust administrative reme-
dies under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1997e (West Supp. 2000). We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. See Wells v. Townsend, No. CA-99-42-3 (E.D. Va. July 21,
1999). 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.
AFFIRMED
