Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the reasons for dismissal were set out in the court’s January 30, 2025, order. That order is not included in the provided text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. Based on that certification, the court denied in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to appeal without paying the required court fees—for purposes of an appeal.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Appeal-related in forma pauperis status was denied. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
