In Anthony Nelson Cruzado v. Todd Blanche, Judge Swain dismissed the action for reasons stated in an earlier order and certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith.

Who this affects

Anthony Nelson Cruzado’s action against Todd Blanche and the other named defendants was dismissed.

What happened

Anthony Nelson Cruzado brought this action against Todd Blanche and other defendants. The judgment does not describe the claims or the parties’ arguments.

The court dismissed the action because of the reasons stated in its July 17, 2026, order. That earlier order is not included here, so this judgment does not reveal the specific basis for dismissal.

Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain also certified that any appeal from the judgment would not be taken in good faith under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
