Bizounouya v. United State Post Services: Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-free appeal status.
The action brought by Daourou Bizounouya against United State Post Services was dismissed, and Bizounouya was denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees.
What happened
In Bizounouya v. United State Post Services, the court dismissed Daourou Bizounouya’s action for reasons stated in an earlier November 20, 2024 order. This judgment does not explain those reasons.
The court also certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain entered the judgment on January 28, 2025.

Ruling
The court dismissed the action. The judgment states that the reasons were provided in the court’s November 20, 2024 order, but that earlier order is not included in the supplied opinion text. The basis for dismissal therefore cannot be determined from this document alone.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. As a result, it denied in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to appeal without paying filing fees—for purposes of an appeal.
The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain and dated January 28, 2025, in New York, New York.
