PER CURIAM.
Following this court’s remand for further proceedings on Willie Scott’s
retaliatory-transfer claim against Deputy Warden Aundrea Weekly, the district court1
dismissed Scott’s claim against her without prejudice for failure to exhaust his
administrative remedies. Scott appeals.
After careful review, we agree with the district court that Scott failed to
properly exhaust his administrative remedies because he did not name Weekly in his
exhausted grievance as required by prison policy and did not allege retaliatory
transfer in that grievance. See Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S. 199, 218-19 (2007) (prison’s
requirements define boundaries of proper exhaustion; benefits of exhaustion include
allowing prison to address complaints about program it administers before being
subjected to suit). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
