Jeffrey D. Williams, an Iowa inmate, appeals the district court&s1 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1) dismissal of his civil rights action. Williams brought multiple claims against the defendants alleging deliberate indifference to assorted medical needs,

1 The Honorable Michael J. Melloy, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. violations of equal protection, and other constitutional and statutory violations. Upon a careful review of the record and Williams&s brief, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Williams&s complaint as frivolous. See Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992) (standard of review); Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (frivolous complaint lacks “an arguable basis either in law or in fact”). Accordingly, we affirm. We also deny all of Williams&s pending motions.
