Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the reasons for dismissal were provided in an order dated March 20, 2025, but that order is not included in the provided text. The judgment therefore does not reveal the grounds for dismissal.
Appeal-Related Ruling
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied in forma pauperis status for an appeal, meaning permission to pursue the appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment does not state any other appeal ruling.
