Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 2:02-CV-143
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Terrence L. Swanson, Texas prisoner #1036801, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint
for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Because he did
not file his step 2 grievance until after he filed the instant
complaint, the district court did not err in dismissing the
complaint. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); Underwood v. Wilson, 151 F.3d
292, 293-96 (5th Cir. 1998).
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No.
