Before SHEPHERD, KELLY, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
       In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Arkansas inmate Christopher Thornsberry
appeals after the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment for failure to
exhaust administrative remedies. After careful review of the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. See Townsend v. Murphy, 898
F.3d 780, 783 (8th Cir. 2018) (reviewing de novo grant of summary judgment based
on failure to exhaust). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny
the pending motions for oral argument and to dismiss the appeal.
                        ______________________________




      1
       The Honorable James M. Moody, Jr., United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable Edie R. Ervin, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of
Arkansas.
