Meredith v. Allen County War Memorial Hospital Commission
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
1DissentPhillips, Circuit Judge
I would affirm the order of the District Court dismissing this action for lack of jurisdiction. I do not believe this type of case was contemplated by the Congress as coming within the scope of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3). Flemming v. Adams, 253 F.Supp. 549 (D.Colo.), affirmed 377 F.2d 975 (10th Cir.), cert, denied, 389 *37U.S. 898, 88 S.Ct. 219, 19 L.Ed.2d 216; Hopkins v. Wasson, 227 F.Supp. 278 (E. D.Tenn.), affirmed, 329 F.2d 67 (6th Cir.), cert, denied, 379 U.S. 854, 85 S. Ct. 102, 13 L.Ed.2d 57.
