The detailed version
- Jaime v. Deputy of Health Toumi · No. 1:25-cv-05875
- Laura Swain
- Sept. 5, 2025
Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the dismissal was for the reasons given in the court’s September 2, 2025, order. That order is not included in the provided opinion text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this document alone.
Appeal-fee ruling
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 Luis Jaime permission to appeal without paying the required fees. The judgment cited Coppedge v. United States for the principle that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Result
The action was dismissed, and fee-waiver status for purposes of an appeal was denied. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
