In Dean v. Carro, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-free appeal status after certifying an appeal would not be taken in good faith.
The action brought by Alexandra M. Dean and the other petitioners against Gregory Carro and the other respondents was dismissed. The petitioners were also denied permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees.
What happened
Dean v. Carro was dismissed for the reasons given in the court’s June 3, 2025 order. The judgment does not state those reasons.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied the petitioners permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees.
Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain entered the judgment on June 5, 2025. The opinion provided does not explain the underlying claims or whether the court reached their merits.

Disposition
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its June 3, 2025 order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text.
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 the petitioners permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The opinion cites Coppedge v. United States for this certification.
Classification
This is a procedural order because the provided judgment dismisses the action without stating that the court decided the underlying legal issues. The opinion does not identify the claims or explain whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
