Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the dismissal was based on the reasons explained in the court’s September 10, 2025, order, but that order is not included in the provided opinion text. The provided text therefore does not identify the grounds for dismissal or explain whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
Appeal-related 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 the plaintiff permission to proceed without paying the required filing fees for an appeal. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444–45 (1962).
Disposition
The action was dismissed, and in forma pauperis status was denied for purposes of an appeal. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
