PER CURIAM: Alexander Harris, a Virginia inmate, appeals the district court’s orders accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendations to (1) dismiss with prejudice Harris’ 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to exhaust his administrative remedies; * and (2) deny Harris’ postjudgment motion.

Apr. 30, 2020 & Aug. 24, 2020). 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 The magistrate judge made the findings of fact relevant to this ruling after conducting an extensive hearing, which the district court construed as a bench trial. * 2
