Before KELLY, BOWMAN, and GRASZ, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

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, 779 F.3d 768, 771
(8th Cir.) (standards of review), cert. denied, 136 S. Ct. 211 (2015). We affirm, and
we deny as moot the pending motion to dismiss.
                        ______________________________

      2
       Hamm has abandoned his claims against defendant nurse Dream Redic-Young.
See Hess v. Ables, 714 F.3d 1048, 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.
