In Purisima v. U.S. Commissioner of Social Security, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-free appeal status for reasons stated in an earlier order.
The judgment affects plaintiff Anton Purisima’s action against the U.S. Commissioner of Social Security and the other named defendants, and it denies fee-free status for any appeal.
What happened
In Purisima v. U.S. Commissioner of Social Security, the court entered a civil judgment dismissing Anton Purisima’s action. The judgment says the reasons were stated in a June 3, 2025, order, but that order is not included here.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Purisima permission to proceed without paying filing fees for an appeal. The judgment does not explain the basis for the dismissal or identify the claims at issue.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on June 4, 2025. The action was dismissed, and appeal-related fee-free status was denied.

Disposition
The court dismissed the action “[f]or the reasons stated in the June 3, 2025, order.” The provided opinion is the civil judgment and does not include the June 3 order, so it does not reveal the court’s reasoning, the claims involved, or whether the dismissal was based on a threshold issue or the merits.
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 filing fees—for purposes of an appeal. Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment.
