Disposition
The court dismissed the action “[f]or the reasons stated in the February 10, 2025, order.” The February 10 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 would not be taken in good faith. As a result, it denied the plaintiff in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees—for purposes of an appeal.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on February 11, 2025, in New York, New York.
