What happened

Disposition
The judgment states that, for the reasons given in the court’s April 30, 2025 order, the defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted. The judgment does not include that separate order, so the legal grounds for dismissal cannot be summarized from the available text.
Appeal and Case Status
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied fee-free appeal status under the statute. The judgment states that the case is closed.
Parties
The caption identifies Jeremiah Folsom Herbert as the plaintiff and Sergeant George, along with other defendants, as the defendants.
