Owner/Agent@DudeofNewYork v. U.S. Government

Background

Owner/Agent@DudeofNewYork was the plaintiff. The defendants were identified in the caption as the U.S. Government State/Province (.gov) and several states or state-related government entities. The plaintiff filed the complaint without paying the filing fee under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), a procedure commonly called proceeding in forma pauperis.

Ruling

The judgment states that, for the reasons given in the court’s August 21, 2025, order, the complaint was dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)–(iii) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(h)(3). The August 21 order is not included in the provided text, so this judgment does not reveal which specific grounds supported the dismissal. The judgment does not state that the dismissal was with or without prejudice.

The court warned that further meritless litigation in the district could lead to an order barring the plaintiff from filing new actions without paying the filing fee unless the plaintiff first obtained the court’s permission. The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith and denied fee-waived status for purposes of an appeal. The document was dated August 22, 2025, and signed by the clerk of court through a deputy clerk; no judge’s name appears in the provided judgment.
