Ruling
The court dismissed the action, relying on the reasons stated in its August 27, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal and the claims involved cannot be determined from this text alone.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment was signed by Laura Taylor Swain, Chief United States District Judge.
