No.  01-1169

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before EBEL, KELLY, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.

	Juan de Dios Magallanes-Robledo, a federal inmate, brought this pro se Bivens
 suit against various prison officials alleging denial of medical care in violation of the Eighth Amendment.  The district court dismissed the suit without prejudice for failure to exhaust Bureau of Prisons administrative remedies as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Magallanes appeals, and we affirm.
	We review the district court’s dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative remedies de novo.  Miller v. Menghini, 213 F.3d 1244, 1245 (10th Cir. 2000).  Magallanes brought this suit seeking to obtain surgery to correct ringing in his ear, the return of allegedly confiscated medication, and to “have [his] good time back.”  (Am. Compl. at 6.)  However, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a), as amended by the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995, provides that “[n]o action shall be brought with respect to prison conditions under . . . any . . . Federal law, by a prisoner confined in any jail, prison, or other correctional facility until such administrative remedies as are available are exhausted.”  As a result, Magallanes must exhaust the remedial scheme set forth in 28 C.F.R. §§ 542.10–.19 (Bureau of Prisons Administrative Remedy Program) before he may bring this Bivens action for denial of medical care.  Although Magallanes has made use of the available administrative process, our careful review of the record reveals that he has not exhausted that process.  
	Finally, we reject Magallanes’s assertion that he need not exhaust remedies because the damage is already done.  As the Supreme Court recently stated, “Congress has mandated exhaustion clearly enough, regardless of the relief offered through administrative procedures.”  Booth v. Churner, 121 S. Ct. 1819, 1825 (2001).  For substantially the same reasons set forth by the district court, we AFFIRM.
	The mandate shall issue forthwith.
