Opinion

PER CURIAM:

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.
