    Before COLLOTON, BENTON, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
    ___________
    PER CURIAM.
    Carl Turner appeals the district court’s order denying him leave to proceed in
    forma pauperis (IFP) based on its finding that he had three strikes under 
    28 U.S.C. § 1915
    (g). Following our review of the three cases the district court listed as strikes,
    see Owens v. Isaac, 
    487 F.3d 561
    , 563 (8th Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (reviewing de
    novo district court’s interpretation and application of § 1915(g)), we conclude that two
    of them did not count as strikes within the meaning of section 1915(g), cf. Newingham
    v. Westbrook, 
    140 Fed. Appx. 634
    , 634 (8th Cir. 2005) (unpublished per curiam)
    (clarifying that dismissal of Arkansas inmate’s civil rights action for failure to exhaust
    administrative remedies did not count as “strike” within meaning of § 1915(g));
    Williams v. Lehman, 
    111 Fed. Appx. 852
    , 852 (8th Cir. 2004) (unpublished per
    curiam) (case resolved though summary judgment did not constitute “strike”).
    Accordingly, we grant Turner’s motion to appeal IFP, deny his motion for counsel,
    reverse the district court’s order denying him IFP status based on section 1915(g), and
    remand for further proceedings.
