Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action “for the reasons stated” in a May 6, 2025, order. That order is not included in the provided opinion text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this document alone.
Appeal and Fees
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, meaning permission to proceed without paying the required fees, for purposes of an appeal. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
