Opinion:
OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Sherman Coleman appeals the District Court's order dismissing his complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). We conclude that his appeal lacks an arguable legal basis.
Coleman is incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution at Fayette ("SCI"). In August 2004, he filed a document entitled "Declaration in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction." Coleman's motion alleged that Dr. Michael J. Herbik, the Medical Director at SCI, had not permitted him to test his own blood glucose level. Herbik filed a motion to dismiss Coleman's motion. The Magistrate Judge recommended that Coleman's motion be construed as a complaint and that Herbik's motion to dismiss be granted. Coleman filed a response and an "amended" complaint. The complaint named Jeffrey A. Beard, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections; Neal K. Mechling, Superintendent at SCI; Dr. Herbik; Prison Health Care Services, Inc. and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. Coleman alleges that the defendants violated his Eighth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment and state constitutional rights and discriminated against him under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The District Court dismissed the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) for failure to state a claim. Coleman filed this timely appeal.
Deliberate indifference to serious medical needs is a violation of the Eighth Amendment and actionable under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 103, 97 S.Ct. 285, 50 L.Ed.2d 251 (1976). To act with deliberate indifference is to recklessly disregard a substantial risk of serious harm. Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 836, 114 S.Ct. 1970, 128 L.Ed.2d 811 (1994). We agree that Coleman failed to plead a claim of deliberate indifference. Coleman does not allege that he is not receiving treatment for his diabetes; instead, he asserts that Herbik's medical treatment was not proper and that he should be permitted to check his own blood glucose level more often than on the first Monday of each month as provided for by Dr. Herbik's treatment regimen. Coleman's disagreement with the medical care provided by Herbik does not state an Eighth Amendment claim. See Rouse v. Plantier, 182 F.3d 192, 197 (3d Cir.1999).
The District Court correctly dismissed the complaint as to the remaining defendants because Coleman does not allege any personal involvement of these defendants; it is well-established that there is no respondeat superior liability in § 1983 actions. See Rode v. Dellarciprete, 845 F.2d 1195, 1207 (3d Cir.1988). Additionally, Coleman fails to allege any facts that would support a claim of discrimination pursuant to the ADA. See Taylor v. Phoenixville Sch. Dist., 184 F.3d 296, 306 (3d Cir.1999).
We have reviewed "Plaintiffs Motion for Stay of Proceeding or Motion for Remand of Proceeding or Motion to Have Proceeding Dismissed Without Prejudice." In this document, Coleman attempts to amend his complaint by providing new information that he believes will demonstrate deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. Such claims would more properly be asserted in the District Court, either in a motion for relief pursuant to Rule 60(b), Fed.R.Civ.P., or in a new complaint. Accordingly, we deny this motion.
We will dismiss this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) as lacking any arguable basis in law.
