The detailed version
- Shteierman v. Qatar Airways Group Q.C.S.C. · No. 1:25-cv-08043
- Laura Swain
- Nov. 26, 2025
Disposition
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action “for the reasons stated” in its November 25, 2025 order. That earlier order is not included in the provided text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal-Filing Status
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 permission to appeal without paying filing fees. 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 judgment does not state whether the dismissal was with or without prejudice, and it does not describe the claims or defenses. It also does not determine from the provided text whether the dismissal reached the merits.
