The detailed version
- Mallgren v. United States · No. 1:25-cv-02254
- Laura Swain
- Mar. 31, 2025
Background
Anthony Brian Mallgren sued the United States of America and other defendants. The civil judgment states that the action was dismissed for the reasons given in a March 28, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion, so the claims, facts, and stated basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text.
Ruling
The court dismissed the action. It certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. Based on that certification, the court denied Mallgren in forma pauperis status for an appeal. In forma pauperis status generally permits a person to proceed without prepaying court fees, but this judgment does not otherwise describe any appeal.
The judgment does not say whether the dismissal was with prejudice or without prejudice. It also does not state whether the dismissal was based on the merits, jurisdiction, pleading requirements, or another ground; those details may appear in the March 28 order.
Judge and Date
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on March 31, 2025, in New York, New York.
