Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and respondent’s Answer.

Claimant seeks payment of $2,179.04 for medical services provided to an inmate at Mt. Olive Correctional Center, a facility of-the respondent. Respondent, in its Answer, admits the validity of the claim and the amount, but states that there were sufficient funds in its appropriation for the fiscal year in question from which to pay the invoice.

While the Court believes that this is a claim which in equity and good conscience should be paid, the Court further believes that an award cannot be recommended based upon the decision in Airkem Sales and Services, et al. vs. Dept. of Mental Health, 8 Ct. Cl. 180 (1971).

Claim disallowed.
