Disposition
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its November 10, 2025 order. That order is not included in the provided opinion, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this text.
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 in forma pauperis status—the status allowing a party to appeal without paying court fees—for purposes of an appeal.
