What happened

The court also ruled that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Vladymir Campos permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment does not state the underlying basis for dismissal.
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed the judgment. Because the referenced August 27 order is unavailable, the record provided does not show whether the dismissal reached the underlying legal issues.

Ruling
The court entered judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the reasons for dismissal were set out in an August 27, 2025, order, which is not included in the provided opinion text.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Vladymir Campos permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962).
Unclear from the Provided Text
The judgment does not identify the claims, the facts, or the legal basis for dismissal. It therefore does not establish from the provided text whether the dismissal was based on a threshold issue or on the merits.
