The detailed version

Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal are provided in a May 14, 2025 order, but that order is not included in the supplied opinion text. As a result, the basis for the dismissal and whether the court reached the merits cannot be determined from this text alone.
Appeal and Filing Fees
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States for the principle that an appeal is taken in good faith when it seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment, which was dated May 14, 2025, in New York, New York.
