Disposition
The court dismissed the action. The civil judgment states that the reasons appeared in a separate September 3, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the provided text. Therefore, the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal Status
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 Alexandra Marie Dean permission to appeal without prepaying court fees. The judgment cited Coppedge v. United States for the principle that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Judge
Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain signed and entered the judgment on September 3, 2025.
