Case
Azcona v. Federal Burea of Inv. · No. 1:24-cv-08905
Judge
Laura Swain
Date
Feb. 5, 2025

Disposition

The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its February 3, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided text, so the basis for dismissal and the claims addressed cannot be determined from this judgment alone.

Appeal-related ruling

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Daniel Azcona permission to appeal without paying court fees. The court cited a Supreme Court decision explaining that an appeal is taken in good faith when it seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.

Result

The action was dismissed. Permission to appeal without paying court fees was denied for purposes of an appeal.
