What the Court Did
The court dismissed the action. The judgment states that the reasons for dismissal were given in a November 19, 2025, order, but that order is not part of the provided text.
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 Coppedge v. United States in support of that certification.
Limits of the Provided Opinion
The judgment does not identify the claims, explain the basis for dismissal, or state whether the court reached the merits. This summary therefore cannot determine why the action was dismissed or what issues were decided.
