PER CURIAM: Warren Matthew Giddings appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Corizon on his claims raised pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and dismissing the remaining Defendants. On appeal, Corizon has filed a suggestion of bankruptcy and notice of automatic stay informing this court that it commenced Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in February 2023. The automatic stay precludes us from reviewing the district court’s disposition of Giddings’ claims against Corizon. As to the court’s disposition of Giddings’ claims against the remaining Defendants, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Giddings’ motion to proceed under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b), and affirm the district court’s order as to all defendants except Corizon. Giddings v. Corizon, No. 1:21-cv-03166-LKG (D. Md. Jan.

25, 2023). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
