In Mallgren v. United States, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-free status for any appeal.
The judgment dismisses Anthony Brian Mallgren’s action against the United States and denies fee-free status for any appeal.
What happened
Mallgren v. United States concerns an action brought by Anthony Brian Mallgren against the United States. The judgment does not describe the underlying claims or the parties’ arguments.
The court dismissed the action for the reasons given in a separate August 21, 2025, order. That order is not included here, so the judgment alone does not show why the action was dismissed.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain also found that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Mallgren permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with or without prejudice.

Background
The caption identifies Anthony Brian Mallgren as the plaintiff and the United States as the defendant. The judgment does not identify the claims, factual allegations, or arguments in the action.
Ruling
The court stated that, for the reasons in its August 21, 2025, order, “this action is dismissed.” The referenced order is not part of the provided text, so the basis for the dismissal cannot be determined from this civil judgment. The judgment does not specify whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
Appeal-related ruling
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to appeal without paying filing fees—for purposes of an appeal.
