Background
The plaintiff filed a complaint against Biolife Plasma Services Inc. and other defendants without prepaying the filing fee under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). The judgment states that the court’s reasons were set out in an order dated June 25, 2025. That order is not included in the provided text.
Court’s ruling
The court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted and as frivolous, citing 28 U.S.C. § 1915. A dismissal for failure to state a claim means the court found that the complaint did not adequately allege a legal basis for relief. The judgment states that the case was dismissed.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied the plaintiff permission to appeal without prepaying the filing fee. The judgment was entered on June 27, 2025.
