- Laura Swain
- July 23, 2025
Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action “for the reasons stated” in a July 22, 2025, order. That order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text.
The court also 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, meaning permission to pursue an appeal without paying the required filing fees, for purposes of an appeal.
Classification
This is a procedural order because the provided judgment dismisses the action without stating that the court decided the underlying legal claims. The missing July 22 order might contain additional reasoning or rulings not available in the provided text.
