With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". Anthony Joseph Amara appeals pro se from the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Roles v. Maddox, 439 F.3d 1016, 1017 (9th Cir.2006), and we affirm. The district court properly dismissed Amara’s complaint without prejudice because Amara failed to exhaust administrative remedies as required by the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199 (9th Cir.2002) (<HOLDING>); see also Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108,

A: holding that exhaustion under 42 usc  1997ea must occur prior to the commencement of the action

C: holding that proper exhaustion under 42 usc  1997ea is mandatory and requires adherence to administrative procedural rules
D: holding that  1997ea requires proper exhaustion
