Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action “[f]or the reasons stated in the January 10, 2025, order.” That earlier order is not included in the provided text, so the opinion does not show the claims, arguments, or legal grounds supporting the dismissal.
Appeal-Fee Determination
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 in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to pursue the appeal without paying the required fees—for purposes of an appeal.
What the Available Opinion Does Not Establish
The provided judgment does not say whether the dismissal was based on the merits, a procedural defect, or another ground. This summary therefore cannot describe the underlying dispute or the court’s reasoning beyond the stated dismissal and appeal-fee ruling.
