What happened

In Shelly Jones and Warren Jones v. Westside Building and Restoration, Inc., the court entered judgment dismissing the action. The judgment says the reasons were provided in an October 17, 2025, order, which is not included here.

The opinion does not explain the claims, the parties’ arguments, or the basis for dismissal. It therefore does not show whether the court reached the underlying legal issues.

Case
Jones v. Westside Building and Restoration · No. 1:25-cv-03339

Date
Oct. 21, 2025

Disposition

The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. The judgment states that the dismissal was ordered for the reasons given in the court’s October 17, 2025, order. That earlier order is not part of the provided text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.

Appeal Certification

The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. The judgment cites a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.

Effect

The action was dismissed. The provided judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice, identify the claims, or explain whether the court reached the merits.
