OPINION ISSUED NOVEMBER 9, 1998
UNIVERSITY HEALTH ASSOCIATES VS. DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS
(CC-98-300)
Claimant represents self.
Joy M. Cavallo, Assistant Attorney General for respondent.

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 in the amount of $71,530.20 for medical services rendered to various inmates committed to the custody of the respondent in the Huttonsville and Pruntytown correctional centers, as well as to state inmates in custody in the Monongalia County Jail. Respondent, in its Answer, admits the validity of the claim, but states that there were insufficient funds in its appropriation for the fiscal year in question from which to pay 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.
