Case
Goh v. Daley · No. 1:25-cv-04747
Judge
Laura Swain
Date
Aug. 8, 2025

Disposition

The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action for the reasons stated in its August 8, 2025, order. The provided opinion text does not include that order, so it does not state the basis for the dismissal or whether the court reached the merits.

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 in forma pauperis status, meaning permission to proceed without prepaying court fees, for purposes of an appeal.

Judge

Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment.
