In Bradley A. Werner, Jr. v. The City of New York, Judge Swain dismissed the action and certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith.

Who this affects

The action brought by Bradley A. Werner, Jr. against The City of New York and the other named defendants was dismissed. The judgment also affects any attempted appeal by certifying that it would not be taken in good faith.

What happened

Bradley A. Werner, Jr. v. The City of New York was dismissed by the Southern District of New York. The judgment says the reasons were stated in a November 19, 2025, order, but that order is not included here.

The judgment does not describe the claims, the parties’ arguments, or the basis for dismissal. It therefore does not show whether the court decided the underlying legal issues.

Judge Laura Taylor Swain entered the judgment on November 20, 2025, and certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).

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.
