The detailed version

- Laura Swain
- July 8, 2025
Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal were provided in the court’s July 7, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the supplied opinion text. The basis for the dismissal therefore cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal and Filing Fees
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 for an appeal, meaning permission to pursue the appeal without paying the required filing fees.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment, which was dated July 8, 2025, in New York, New York.
