In re: Javier Pereira was dismissed, and Judge Swain certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith.

Who this affects

Javier Pereira, whose action was dismissed.

What happened

In re: Javier Pereira was dismissed for the reasons given in a separate August 21, 2025 order. The judgment itself does not state those reasons.

The court also certified under federal law that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. This certification concerns the court’s view of a potential appeal and does not itself state that an appeal is impossible.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain, the Chief United States District Judge, signed the judgment on August 21, 2025.

Case
In re: Javier Pereira · No. 1:25-cv-04518
Judge
Laura Swain
Date
Aug. 21, 2025

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.
