Ruling

The court dismissed the action under the reasons stated in a separate July 23, 2025 order. The supplied judgment does not include that order, so it does not identify the claims, the legal basis for dismissal, or the court’s underlying reasoning.

Appeal certification

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 cited the Supreme Court’s explanation that an appeal is taken in good faith when the appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue. The judgment itself does not state that an appeal is prohibited.

Disposition

The action was dismissed. The judgment was dated and signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain on July 23, 2025.
