What happened
In Gibbs v. Jackson, the court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in a June 24, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included here, so this judgment does not explain why the action was dismissed.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Tyquan Gibbs permission to proceed without paying the required fees for an appeal.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment on June 27, 2025.

Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action “for the reasons stated” in its June 24, 2025, order. The provided opinion does not include that earlier order, so it does not identify the grounds for dismissal or show whether the court reached the underlying claims.
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 court fees—for purposes of an appeal.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment in New York, New York, on June 27, 2025.
