Kenneth Syncere Rivera, Appellant Pro Se. Stephanie Holmes
Burton, GIBBES & BURTON, LLC, Spartanburg, South Carolina, for
Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Kenneth Syncere Rivera appeals the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying
relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint. Because the
record discloses that Rivera failed to properly exhaust his
administrative remedies as required under 42 U.S.C. § 1997e
(2012), we affirm the dismissal without prejudice of his
complaint. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
