____________

PER CURIAM.

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Arkansas inmate Mark Morris appeals after the district court partially dismissed his complaint preservice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. [1]

§ 1915A(b), and then adversely granted summary judgment. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district court properly disposed of the claims that have been addressed by Morris on appeal. See Hess v. Ables, 714 F.3d 1048, 1051 n.2 (8th Cir. 2013) (claim was abandoned where appellant did not brief court on why dismissal was improper); Beaulieu v. Ludeman, 690 F.3d 1017, 1024 (8th Cir. 2012) (grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo); Cooper v. Schriro, 189 F.3d 781, 783 (8th Cir. 1999) (per curiam) (§ 1915A(b) dismissal is reviewed de novo); see also Robinson v. Hager, 292 F.3d 560, 564 (8th Cir. 2002) (discussing deliberate indifference standard); Hosna v. Groose, 80 F.3d 298, 304 & n.8 (8th Cir. 1996) (discussing equal protection standard for inmate who has not alleged he is member of suspect class).
