What the judgment says
The civil judgment states that the action is dismissed “for the reasons stated” in an April 1, 2025, order. That earlier order is not part of the provided text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal-related ruling
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 in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to proceed without paying the usual filing fees—for purposes of an appeal.
Disposition and judge
The action was dismissed. The court separately denied fee-waiver status for an appeal. Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment.
