In Nunez v. Doe, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-waiver status for any appeal because the cited reasons were in an unavailable order.
The judgment dismissed Eric Nunez’s action against Doe and denied fee-waiver status for any appeal.
What happened
In Nunez v. Doe, the court dismissed Eric Nunez’s action for the reasons stated in an August 12, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined here.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Nunez fee-waiver status for an appeal.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain entered the civil judgment on August 14, 2025.

Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the dismissal was based on the reasons given in an August 12, 2025, order, but that order is not part of the provided opinion. The available text therefore does not show whether the dismissal was based on the merits, a procedural issue, or another ground.
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 denied fee-waiver status for purposes of an appeal. The opinion cites a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Fee-waiver status for an appeal was denied.
