In MCMILLAN v. AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-free appeal status, relying on an earlier order.
The judgment dismisses Brittany R. McMillan’s action against American Express Company and The Bank of New York Mellon and denies McMillan permission to appeal without paying filing fees.
What happened
In MCMILLAN v. AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY, Brittany R. McMillan sued American Express Company and The Bank of New York Mellon. The judgment says the action was dismissed for the reasons given in a December 10, 2024, order, which is not included here.
The court also ruled that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied McMillan permission to appeal without paying the filing fees.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain entered the judgment on February 11, 2025. This opinion does not explain the underlying reasons for dismissing the action.
