Maureen Miller’s action against the United States was dismissed; the judgment also included a certification concerning any appeal.
What happened
In Miller v. United States, the court entered a civil judgment dismissing Maureen Miller’s action against the United States.
The judgment says the dismissal was for the reasons given in a June 3, 2025, order, but that order is not included here. The judgment therefore does not explain the legal basis for dismissal or state whether the dismissal permits refiling.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain also certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith, citing a federal statute and a Supreme Court decision.

Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing Maureen Miller’s action against the United States. The judgment states that the dismissal was based on the reasons in the court’s June 3, 2025, order. That earlier order is not provided in the opinion text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone. The judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
Appeal certification
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962), for that certification.
Result
The action was dismissed. No separate ruling on claims, defenses, or the merits is stated in the provided text.
