Cecil B. Sanner and Mary W. Sanner v. The Trustees of the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital

 PER CURIAM: Except for an important statutory relaxation 1 in 1966, Maryland judicially adheres to the so called doctrine of charitable immunity. Ordinarily such a matter is one of state law. Erie R. R. v. Tompkins, 304 U.S. 64 , 58 S.Ct. 817 , 82 L.Ed. 1188 (1938). We have carefully considered plaintiff’s interesting contention that the state of Maryland may not constitutionally cling to this judge-made, and increasingly questioned, doctrine. We reject the contention and affirm the granting of summary judgment in favor of the charitable institution, D.C., 278 F.Supp. 138 . Affirmed. 1 . Maryland Code Annotated Art. 43 §, 556A (Supp.1966).
