Civil Procedure
In one sentence

In Winter v. Mid-First Bank, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-waiver status for any appeal.

Who this affects

The dismissal affected Pamela Winter’s action against Mid-First Bank and the other defendants. The denial of permission to proceed without paying appellate fees affects any appeal from the judgment.

What happened

Pamela Winter sued Mid-First Bank and other defendants in Winter v. Mid-First Bank. The court’s judgment does not describe the claims or the parties’ arguments.

The judgment states that the action was dismissed for the reasons given in a January 17, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion text, so the basis for dismissal is unclear here.

Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Winter permission to proceed without paying the required fees for an appeal.

Case
Winter v. Mid First Bank · No. 1:25-cv-00370
Judge
Laura Swain
Date
Jan. 21, 2025

Background

Pamela Winter brought this action against Mid-First Bank and other defendants. The provided civil judgment does not identify the claims, describe the defendants’ positions, or explain the underlying dispute.

Ruling

The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its January 17, 2025, order. That order is not included in the provided text, so this judgment alone does not show the legal basis for the dismissal.

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 permission to proceed without paying the required fees for purposes of an appeal. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain on January 21, 2025.
