Lamb v. Caremark, Prescription Service

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

George Lamb appeals the District Court’s 1 pre-service dismissal of his diversity action against Caremark and two of its employees, in which he alleged that defendants refused to provide him with a brand-name medication and insisted he take the generic equivalent instead, manufacturing a letter in which they claimed to have obtained the approval of Lamb’s doctor. After careful review, we conclude that the Court properly dismissed his complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

. The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
