What happened
In Corley v. Cepada, the court entered a civil judgment dismissing Marquis Corley’s action against N. Cepada. The judgment gives the reasons stated in an April 14, 2025 order, but that order is not included here.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Corley permission to appeal without prepaying filing fees.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on April 15, 2025. The judgment does not explain the underlying basis for dismissing the action.

Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the dismissal was for the reasons given in an April 14, 2025 order, but that order is not included in the provided opinion text. The basis for the dismissal therefore cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal-Filing Status
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 pursue the appeal without prepaying filing fees—for purposes of an appeal.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Permission to appeal without prepaying filing fees was denied. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain on April 15, 2025.
