The appellant, Morton Birnbaum, a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of New York, brought this action pro se on May 1, 1964 against the three defendants-appellees in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. He based jurisdiction on 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 "and other sections of the Civil Rights Laws" and sought damages of $25,000 and costs. The defendant, Ray E. Trussell, was then Commissioner of the New York City Department of Hospitals, and the defendant, Robert J. Mangum, was his First Deputy Commissioner. William Lewis, the other defendant, was president of Local 237 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, a union which represented non-medical employees in the Citys hospitals.
