Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action brought by Denise Walker against Federation of Organization, also known as Rise Well Community Services. The judgment states that the dismissal was for the reasons explained in the court’s October 25, 2024, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal-related ruling
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Walker in forma pauperis status for purposes of an appeal. In forma pauperis status allows a person to proceed without paying the usual court fees.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Appeal-related in forma pauperis status was denied. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
