In Felice v. Doe, Judge Swain dismissed the action and certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith.
Phillipe Felice’s action against Doe was dismissed. The judgment also includes a certification that any appeal would not be taken in good faith.
What happened
In Felice v. Doe, the court entered judgment dismissing Phillipe Felice’s action against Doe, relying on reasons given in a July 14, 2025 order.
The judgment does not include the reasons from that earlier order, so this record does not explain why the action was dismissed. It says the court certified under federal law that any appeal would not be taken in good faith, meaning the court found no nonfrivolous issue for appeal.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the July 15, 2025 civil judgment.
