Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the dismissal was based on reasons explained in an August 21, 2025 order, but that order is not included in the provided text. Therefore, the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal Certification
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. The judgment cites a Supreme Court decision explaining that an appeal is taken in good faith when the appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue. The provided judgment does not state whether an appeal was filed or otherwise describe any appeal.
