Ruling
The court dismissed the action, relying on the reasons stated in an October 6, 2025 order. That earlier order is not part of the supplied opinion, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text alone.
Appeal and Filing Fees
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 the plaintiff permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States for the principle that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Permission to proceed without paying filing fees for an appeal was denied.
