Ruling
The court entered a civil judgment dismissing the action. It stated that the dismissal was based on the reasons given in the court’s December 1, 2025 order. That order is not included in the provided opinion text, so the basis for dismissal cannot be determined from this judgment alone.
Appeal-related ruling
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 fee-free status for purposes of an appeal. The court cited a Supreme Court decision explaining that good faith exists when an appellant seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue.
Disposition
The action was dismissed. Fee-free status for an appeal was denied.
