Civil ProcedureMotion to Dismiss
In one sentence

In Obah v. ADAPT, Judge Furman entered judgment for ADAPT, declined amendment, closed the case, and denied fee-free appeal status.

Who this affects

Patrick C. Obah and ADAPT. The judgment favors ADAPT, closes the case, and denies Obah permission to appeal without paying filing fees.

What happened

In Obah v. ADAPT, the court said it had previously identified defects in dismissed claims and had already allowed Obah to amend his original complaint.

The court declined to grant further permission to amend, entered judgment in ADAPT’s favor, and closed the case. It also denied Obah permission to proceed without paying fees on appeal after certifying that an appeal would not be taken in good faith.

Judge Jesse Furman issued the underlying Memorandum Opinion and Order referenced by the judgment. The provided judgment does not explain the merits of Obah’s claims.

Case
Obah v. ADAPT · No. 1:24-cv-05014
Judge

Date

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.
