Disposition
The court dismissed the action. It gave as its reason the explanations in a March 10, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the provided opinion text. The judgment therefore does not show the underlying basis for dismissal.
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 permission to proceed without paying filing fees for purposes of an appeal. The judgment cited a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the civil judgment on March 17, 2025.
