ORDER AND JUDGMENT * Before EBEL, McKAY, and HENRY, Circuit Judges. After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. This is a pro se state prisoner civil rights appeal under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In his claim to the district court, Mr. Williams brought fourteen claims for relief, all stemming from alleged constitutional violations occurring during his incarceration at the Cimarron Correctional Facility and the Dick Connor Correctional Facility. After reviewing the magistrate judge’s Report and Recommendation, the district court dismissed Mr. Williams’ claims for failing to exhaust his administrative remedies. In its order, the district concluded that Mr. Williams had “been given multiple opportunities to correct the deficiencies in his case,” and “[t]herefore, [Mr. Williams’] case will be dismissed with prejudice.” * This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3. -2- Dist. Ct. Order at 3. Mr. Williams appeals to this court. We agree with the district court that Mr. Williams’ case “must be dismissed as he failed to demonstrate he exhausted available remedies before pursuing the present action” in federal court. Dist. Ct. Order at 2; see also 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). We also agree that Mr. Williams’ case should be dismissed with prejudice because of he repeatedly failed to comply with the district court’s and magistrate judge’s orders. See Olsen v. Mapes, 333 F.3d 1199, 1204 (10th Cir. 2003); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). After a thorough review of the briefs and the record, and for substantially the same reasons as set forth in the district court’s well-reasoned July 27, 2004 Order, we hold that no relief is available to Mr. Williams pursuant to § 1983. The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED. We remind Appellant that because his motion to proceed without prepayment of the appellate filing fee was granted, he must continue making partial payments of court fees and costs previously assessed until such have been paid in full.
