PER CURIAM.
After Arkansas inmate Dale Bryant brought a civil rights suit regarding certain
policies of defendant Corizon, Inc., in connection with his medical care, the District
Court1 dismissed the suit without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative
remedies. Bryant appeals.
After careful review, we agree with the District Court that Bryant failed to
properly exhaust his administrative remedies because his grievances did not name any
of the defendants or complain about the specific medical-care policies challenged in
this action, as required by prison grievance procedures. See Jones v. Bock, 549 U.S.
199, 218 (2007) (“The level of detail necessary in a grievance to comply with the
grievance procedures will vary from system to system and claim to claim, but it is the
prison’s requirements, and not the PLRA, that define the boundaries of proper
exhaustion.”).
The judgment is affirmed.
