What happened

Isaacs v. Imperati is an action brought by Stephen Isaacs against Sheriff Kirk Imperati and Commissioner Daniel Martuscello.

Laura Swain
Date
July 15, 2025

Disposition

The court dismissed the action “for the reasons stated” in a July 15, 2025 order. The provided opinion text does not include that order, so it does not explain why the action was dismissed.

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 permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
