Date

Ruling

The court adopted Magistrate Judge Netburn’s Report and Recommendation in full. The judgment refers to a separate Opinion and Order dated September 25, 2025, but that Opinion and Order is not included in the provided text.

The action was dismissed with prejudice, and the case was closed. The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the Opinion and Order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to proceed without paying the required fees for purposes of an appeal.

Scope of the Provided Text

The judgment does not identify the claims, explain the basis for dismissal, or describe the Report and Recommendation’s analysis. The classification therefore reflects the judgment’s disposition rather than a determination that the court reached the underlying merits.
