In Blanco v. HUD, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied pauper status for an appeal, relying on an April 3 order not provided here.
The action brought by Carlita Andrea Blanco was dismissed. The judgment also denied her permission to appeal without paying court fees.
What happened
In Blanco v. HUD, the court entered judgment dismissing Carlita Andrea Blanco’s action against HUD – Unsolicited Research for Partnership Grant. The judgment says the reasons were stated in an April 3, 2025, order, but that order is not included here.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Blanco permission to proceed without paying court fees for an appeal.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on April 4, 2025. Because the April 3 order is not provided, this judgment alone does not explain why the action was dismissed.
The detailed version

- Laura Swain
- Apr. 4, 2025
Background
Carlita Andrea Blanco was the plaintiff, and the defendant was identified as “HUD – UNSOLICITED RESEARCH FOR PARTNERSHIP GRANT.” The judgment states that the action was dismissed for the reasons given in an April 3, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided text.
Ruling
The court dismissed the action. It also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. As a result, the court denied permission to appeal without paying the required court fees. The judgment does not state the underlying basis for dismissal because it refers to the unavailable April 3 order.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the civil judgment on April 4, 2025, in New York, New York.
