Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing Anthony Brian Mallgren’s action against the United States. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal were provided in a May 20, 2025, order, which is not included in the provided text.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. Based on that certification, it denied Mallgren permission to proceed with an appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962).
What the Provided Text Does Not Establish
Because the May 20 order is not provided, this judgment alone does not identify the legal or factual basis for dismissal. It also does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
