Mervin Carlos McKinney and v. People of the State of California, Louis S. Nelson
427 F.2d 160·1970 U.S. App. LEXIS 9260
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth CircuitMay 13, 197023631_1California68 words
Opinion
The order of the district court dismissing plaintiff’s complaint is affirmed.
The fact that McKinney disagrees with the prison doctors’ diagnosis of his ills is not a sufficient basis for a civil rights action.
Further, we are of the opinion that events alleged here concerning one prison riot are not cognizable under applicable federal statutes.
We find no error in the district court’s ruling on McKinney’s various motions.
