Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. [UNPUBLISHED]

___________ Submitted: May 7, 2009 Filed: May 12, 2009 ___________ Before BYE, COLLOTON, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Iowa inmate Frank R. Owens appeals the district court's1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the record, see Popoalii v. Corr. Med. Servs., 512 F.3d 488, 499 (8th Cir. 2008) (de novo review), we find no basis for overturning the district court's determination that Owens had not administratively exhausted his conditions-of-confinement claims, and we conclude summary judgment was proper on his claims arising from prison disciplinary matters and from his December 2006 transfer to the Iowa State Prison. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

The Honorable Edward J. McManus, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa. -2-
