Ruling

The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its December 2 order. That earlier 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 an appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied the plaintiff permission to appeal without paying the required court fees. The judgment was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
