Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing Robert Williams's action against 647 E. 229th Street Bronx LLC and Eli Weissman. The judgment gives the reasons stated in an October 21, 2024, order, but that order is not included in the provided text. The basis for the dismissal therefore cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
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. It therefore denied Williams permission to appeal without paying the required court fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962).
Result
The action was dismissed, and fee-free status for an appeal was denied. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
