PER CURIAM:
Jernard Akins appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing
his complaint filed pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents
of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), without
prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Akins
also appeals the district court’s order denying his subsequent Fed.
R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
orders. See Akins v. United States, 3:04-cv-23200-MBS (D.S.C.
filed Mar. 22, 2006 & entered Mar. 23, 2006; filed May 1, 2006 &
entered May 2, 2006). 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
