Ruling
The court dismissed the action, stating that it did so for the reasons explained in its November 13, 2025 order. That earlier order is not part of the provided text, so the opinion excerpt does not identify the claims, the grounds for dismissal, or whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice.
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 standard that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
