What happened
In Buxbaum v. Intuit, Inc., the court entered judgment dismissing Michael Buxbaum’s action against Intuit, Inc. The judgment gives no other facts about the dispute.
The court said the dismissal was based on reasons stated in a February 4, 2025, order, but that order is not included here. The judgment therefore does not explain the basis for dismissal.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain also certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Buxbaum permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees.

Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the dismissal was for the reasons given in the court’s February 4, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the provided opinion text. The basis for dismissal and whether the court reached the underlying dispute therefore cannot be determined from this judgment 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. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment cites the rule that an appeal is taken in good faith when it seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
