Opinion
OPINION OF THE COURT
The district court properly decided that the present complaint by a state prisoner charging prison authorities with negligence in the matter of providing him with needed medical treatment does not state a cause of action under the Civil Rights Act. Cf. Commonwealth ex rel. Gatewood v. Hendrick, 3d Cir. 1967, 368 F.2d 179; Kent v. Prasse, W.D.Pa. 1967, 265 F.Supp. 673, aff’d. per curiam, 3d Cir. 1967, 385 F.2d 406.
The judgment will be affirmed.
