Disposition

The court dismissed the action. The judgment states that the dismissal was based on the reasons given in an October 14, 2025 order, but that order is not included in the provided text.

Appeal Certification

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), the court certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. 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.

Limits of the Provided Opinion

The judgment does not explain the basis for dismissal, identify the claims addressed, or state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice. Based on the provided text, the court's ruling is a procedural disposition rather than a ruling on the underlying legal issues.
