Background
The supplied text is a judgment in a case captioned Sydney Wisdom as plaintiff against Michelle Loiodice, identified as an Inmate Records Coordinator, as defendant. The judgment does not describe the claims, facts, or arguments. It refers to the court’s separate Opinion and Order dated July 31, 2020, which is not included here.
Ruling
The judgment states that, for the reasons given in the earlier Opinion and Order, the defendant’s motion for summary judgment was granted. Summary judgment is a decision resolving a case without a trial when the court determines that the governing standard is met based on the record.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying the filing fees, and the case was closed.
What the Text Does Not Establish
Because the earlier Opinion and Order is not provided, the supplied judgment does not establish which legal claims were involved, why summary judgment was granted, or what facts the court found relevant.
