Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment stating that the action was dismissed. The judgment gives no independent explanation for the dismissal; it refers to reasons stated in a September 2, 2025 order, which is not included in the provided opinion text.
Appeal-related ruling
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified 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 cites a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
What the provided text does not establish
Because the September 2 order is not provided, this judgment alone does not identify the claims, the parties’ arguments, or the legal basis for dismissing the action.
