Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing Bienvenido Ong’s action against Honor Shelter. The judgment states that the dismissal was based on reasons given in the court’s July 28, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the provided text.
Appeal-related ruling
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 Ong permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment cites a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Limits of the provided opinion
The excerpt does not identify the claims, explain why the action was dismissed, or state whether the dismissal was based on the merits or on a procedural ground.
