1Opinion of the Court
CALABRESI, Circuit Judge:
Stanley Chance, pro se and incarcerated, appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (Dominic J. Squatrito, Judge), granting the defendant’s motion to dismiss Chance’s complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Chance sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the defendants failed to provide him with adequate medical care and thereby violated his constitutional rights. We hold that the claim should not have been dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6) and we therefore reverse.
