What happened
In Martina Antoinette de Truff v. 117 West 141 DE LLC, the court entered judgment dismissing the action. The judgment says the reasons were stated in a May 14, 2025 order, but that order is not included here.
The court also found that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied fee-waiver status for purposes of an appeal. The judgment does not explain the basis for dismissing the action or identify which claims or arguments were addressed.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on May 16, 2025. Because the provided opinion does not include the underlying May 14 order, the available text does not show whether the dismissal reached the merits.

Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the reasons for dismissal were provided in a May 14, 2025 order, but that order is not part of the provided text.
Appeal-related ruling
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 appeal without paying the required fees—for purposes of an appeal. The court cited a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Limits of the provided record
The judgment does not state why the action was dismissed, whether the dismissal addressed the merits, or which claims were involved. The classification is therefore based on the judgment's disposition and the absence of any stated merits ruling in the supplied text.
