Ruling

The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal were given in the court’s August 13, 2025 order, but that order is not part of the provided opinion. The available text therefore does not identify the claims, the basis for 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 fee-free status for purposes of an appeal. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
