Opinion

No. 07-6538.

Submitted: August 31, 2007.

Decided: September 26, 2007.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Beaufort. David C. Norton, District Judge. (9:05-cv-03257-DCN).

Muhammed Dumbuya, Appellant Pro Se. William Henry Davidson, II, Matthew Blaine Rosbrugh, Daniel C. Plyler, Davidson, Morrison Lindemann, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Before MICHAEL, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


Muhammed Dumbuya appeals the district court's order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants on Dumbuya's excessive force claims brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000). Dumbuya appeals only the district court's determination that he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a) (2000) (" PLRA"). Even if Dumbuya could prove exhaustion of his administrative remedies under the PLRA, we affirm the entry of summary judgment for the remaining reasons stated by the magistrate judge and adopted by the district court. See Dumbuya v. Riley, No. 9:05-cv-03257-DCN (D.S.C. Mar. 15, 2007). We also affirm the denial of Dumbuya's discovery motions as moot. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately addressed in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
