PER CURIAM.

      In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, former Arkansas inmate Lloyd N. Hamm, Jr.,
appeals from the orders of the District Court1 granting summary judgment to

      1
       The Honorable P. K. Holmes, III, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas.
defendants. Viewing the record in a light most favorable to Hamm and drawing all
reasonable inferences in his favor, we conclude that summary judgment was properly
granted to defendant Dr. Charles Liggett.2 See Allard v. Baldwin, 

, 771
(8th Cir.) (standards of review), cert. denied, 

 (2015). We affirm, and
we deny as moot the pending motion to dismiss.
                        ______________________________

       Hamm has abandoned his claims against defendant nurse Dream Redic-Young.
See Hess v. Ables, 

, 1051 n.2 (8th Cir. 2013) (noting that a claim
challenging dismissal was abandoned when the appellant failed to brief the issue).
Further, the other matters Hamm raises on appeal provide no basis for reversal.
