Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the dismissal was based on the reasons in its February 19, 2025, order, but that order is not part of the provided opinion text. The available text therefore does not identify the claims, the legal basis for dismissal, or whether the court reached the merits.
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 Amaury Toro permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The court cited a decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment, which was dated February 24, 2025.
