What the judgment says
The judgment refers to the court’s Memorandum Opinion and Order dated August 30, 2024. It states that the court had previously dismissed claims after identifying pleading defects and had already granted Obah permission to amend his original complaint.
The court declined to grant Obah additional permission to amend. It relied on the fact that he had already received an opportunity to correct the identified deficiencies and had not fixed them in his previous pleadings.
Disposition
The court entered judgment in ADAPT’s favor and closed the case. It also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the Memorandum Opinion and Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees.
The provided text does not describe the underlying claims or explain the court’s merits analysis; it addresses the opportunity to amend, the appeal-fee determination, and entry of judgment.
