PER CURIAM:
Michael D. James seeks to appeal the district court’s order
accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, granting
summary judgment to defendants, and dismissing his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2012) complaint without prejudice for failure to exhaust
administrative remedies. Upon review, we vacate the district
court’s order and remand the case with instructions to allow
James a reasonable time to exhaust his administrative remedies
and then, if necessary, move to amend his complaint. We deny
James’ motion for appointment of counsel and 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.
VACATED AND REMANDED
