In AQAW D. BIOR v. QUINTUNA GUAMAN, Judge Swain dismissed the action and denied fee-free status for an appeal.
AQAW D. BIOR's action against QUINTUNA GUAMAN was dismissed, and AQAW D. BIOR was denied permission to appeal without paying the required court fees.
What happened
AQAW D. BIOR sued QUINTUNA GUAMAN in the Southern District of New York. The judgment refers to an October 3, 2025, order for the reasons supporting dismissal, but that order is not included here.
The court dismissed the action. It also ruled that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied AQAW D. BIOR permission to appeal without paying the required fees.
Judge Laura Taylor Swain entered the civil judgment on October 8, 2025. This judgment does not itself explain the basis for dismissing the action beyond referring to the earlier order.
The detailed version
- Bior v. GUAMAN · No. 1:25-cv-06000
- Laura Swain
- Oct. 8, 2025
Ruling
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its October 3, 2025, order. That earlier order is not included in the provided text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
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 permission to appeal without paying the required court fees. The judgment cites Coppedge v. United States for the principle that an appeal is taken in good faith when the appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Permission to proceed without paying appeal fees was denied. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
