No. 25-50398

Thomas Holman, Texas prisoner # 02584057, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b). We have reviewed the district court’s dismissal order de novo in light of Holman’s numerous appellate filings. See Ruiz v. United States, 160 F.3d 273, (5th Cir. 1998).

He has shown no error in the district court’s application of sovereign, judicial, and prosecutorial immunity. See NiGen Biotech, L.L.C. v. Paxton, F.3d 389, 393–94 (5th Cir. 2015); Sama v. Hannigan, 669 F.3d 585, 590 (5th Cir. 2012); Davis v. Tarrant Cnty., 565 F.3d 214, 221–22 (5th Cir. 2009); Loupe v. O’Bannon, 824 F.3d 534, 539 (5th Cir. 2016). We are also unpersuaded that the district court erred in dismissing Holman’s claims related to grievances, see Geiger v. Jowers, 404 F.3d 371, 374 (5th Cir. 2005), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, see Acara v. Banks, F.3d 569, 571–72 (5th Cir. 2006), access to the courts, see Brewster v. Dretke, 587 F.3d 764, 769 (5th Cir. 2009); Walker v. Navarro Cnty. Jail, 4 F.3d 410, 413 (5th Cir. 1993), deliberate indifference to medical needs, see Hannah v. United States, 523 F.3d 597, 600 n.1 (5th Cir. 2008), retaliation, see DeMarco v. Davis, 914 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 2019), equal protection, see Gibson v. Texas Dep’t of Ins., 700 F.3d 227, 238–39 (5th Cir. 2012), or municipal liability, see Hicks-Fields v. Harris Cnty., 860 F.3d 803, 808 (5th Cir. 2017). He has abandoned any other arguments related to procedural due process, deliberate indifference to medical needs, the First Amendment, the right to a speedy trial, ineffective assistance of counsel, and cruel and unusual punishment. See Yohey v. Collins, 985 F.2d 222, 224–25 (5th Cir. 1993). The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. All pending motions are DENIED.
