442 F.2d 1347 (3d Cir. 1971)

Opinion

No. 19410.

Submitted May 21, 1971.

Decided June 7, 1971.

Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania; Frederick V. Follmer, Judge.

Lonzy Oliver, in pro. per.

Joseph J. Pass, Jr., Special Asst. Atty. Gen., Pittsburgh, Pa. (Joseph Martin Gelman, Sp. Asst. Atty. Gen., Fred Speaker, Atty. Gen., Harrisburg, Pa., on the brief), for appellees.

Before SEITZ, VAN DUSEN and ADAMS, Circuit Judges.


OPINION OF THE COURT


The district court dismissed plaintiff's civil rights complaint. He appeals. Plaintiff's grievance, alleged in the most general terms, seems to be that the defendants acted on perjured testimony in causing him to be extradited from Texas to Pennsylvania. We think the complaint was properly dismissed on the ground that it failed to set forth the facts with sufficient particularity to withstand a motion to dismiss. Negrich v. Hohn, 379 F.2d 213 (3d Cir. 1967).

The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
