The detailed version
- Buxbaum v. Coinbase, Inc. · No. 1:25-cv-00359
- Laura Swain
- Mar. 5, 2025
Disposition
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its March 4, 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.
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 the plaintiff's request to proceed on appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment cites the rule that an appeal is taken in good faith when the appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Effect
The judgment dismisses the action and denies the plaintiff's fee-waiver status for an appeal. The provided text does not state whether the dismissal permits refiling.
