Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal were provided in the court’s February 28, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the supplied text.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. As a result, the court denied the plaintiff permission to appeal without prepaying fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States for the standard that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
What the supplied text does not show
The supplied judgment does not identify the claims, explain why the action was dismissed, or state whether the dismissal reached the merits. It also does not state whether the plaintiff was represented by a lawyer.
