In Springer v. Stack, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied status to proceed without paying fees for any appeal.
The judgment affects John of the Family Springer, whose action against Eileen Stack was dismissed, and limits the ability to appeal without paying court fees.
What happened
In Springer v. Stack, the court entered judgment dismissing the action for the reasons given in its April 14, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided text, so the reason for dismissal cannot be determined here.
The court also stated that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied the plaintiff status to appeal without paying court fees.
Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain issued the judgment on April 15, 2025. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
