Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the dismissal was for the reasons explained in a February 27, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the provided opinion text. The available text therefore does not identify the claims, the grounds for dismissal, or whether the court reached the merits.
Appeal-Filing Status
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 permission to appeal without paying the required court fees. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
