    TYGART VALLEY TOTAL CARE CLINIC VS. DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS
    (CC-99-195)
    Claimant represents self.
    Joy M. Cavallo, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM:

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

Claimant seeks $625.00 for medical services rendered to an inmate in Pruntytown Correctional Center, a facility of the respondent. Respondent, in its Answer, admits the validity of the claim, but states that there were insufficient funds in respondent’s appropriation for the fiscal year in question from which to pay that portion of the claim.

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 Service, et al. vs. Dept. of Mental Health, 8 Ct.Cl. 180 (1971).

Claim disallowed.
