What happened
Anthony Brian Mallgren sued the United States in the Southern District of New York. The judgment states that the action was dismissed for reasons explained in a September 2, 2025, order, which is not included here.
The court also certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Mallgren permission to proceed without paying court fees for an appeal.
