Case
Washington v. CVS Pharmacy Inc. · No. 1:24-cv-06456
Judge
Laura Swain
Date
Aug. 14, 2025

Disposition

The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its May 28, 2025, order. The provided judgment does not explain those reasons, so the basis for the dismissal cannot be determined from this text alone.

Appeal-Fee 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 Washington permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. This ruling applied to an appeal and did not describe the merits of any underlying claim.

Result

The action was dismissed. The court also denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
