In Lord v. Northern Manhattan Rehab, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied permission to appeal without prepaying filing fees.
Don Lord’s action was dismissed, and his ability to appeal without prepaying filing fees was denied; the defendants were affected by the dismissal of the action.
What happened
In Lord v. Northern Manhattan Rehab & Nursing Center, the court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action for reasons stated in a March 7, 2025 order. That earlier order is not included here, so this opinion does not explain why the case was dismissed.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Don Lord permission to appeal without prepaying filing fees.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on March 10, 2025. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.

Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the reasons for dismissal were provided in a March 7, 2025 order, but that order is not included in the supplied opinion.

Appeal and Filing Fees
The court 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, it denied Don Lord permission to appeal without prepaying filing fees. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
Disposition
The action was dismissed, and appeal-related permission to proceed without prepaying filing fees was denied. Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment.
