Decision
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its August 25, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. Based on that certification, it denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States for the standard concerning good faith in an appeal.
Effect
The judgment disposes of the action identified in the caption as brought by Carlita Blanco against Mary J. Blige 1983. It does not provide further details about the claims, the parties' positions, or the reasons for dismissal.
