Quintin Windham lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellee ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis ____________ Submitted: November 15, 2024 Filed: December 11, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Pretrial detainee Vincel Chambers appeals following the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Having carefully reviewed the record, see Said v. Mayo Clinic, 44 F.4th 1142, 1147 (8th Cir. 2022) (standard of review), we conclude that no genuine dispute of material fact exists as to whether Chambers exhausted available administrative remedies, see 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (stating that no action shall be brought with respect to prison conditions under § 1983 by a prisoner until available administrative remedies are exhausted); Johnson v. Jones, 340 F.3d 624, 627 (8th Cir. 2003) (stating that an inmate must exhaust all available administrative remedies before filing suit in federal court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Patricia L.
