OPINION

DITTER, District Judge.

The principal question raised by this motion to dismiss is whether the failure, either negligent or intentional, by the staff of a state prison facility to provide medication to an inmate for the control of his epileptic condition presents a claim cognizable under the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 42 U.S.C. § 1985, and its jurisdictional counterparts, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1343.
