Disposition
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its March 19, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal 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 with an appeal without paying the required fees. The judgment does not state any additional disposition of claims or motions.
