PER CURIAM.

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.
______________________________
2Hamm 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.
