The detailed version

Background
The provided judgment identifies Fortunato K. Febus as the plaintiff and Sorrell Feldman, M.D. as the defendant. It refers to the court’s separate opinion and order dated August 17, 2020, but that opinion is not included in the provided text. The judgment therefore does not state the underlying claims or the parties’ arguments.
Ruling
The court granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Summary judgment is a decision resolving a case without a trial when the court determines that the applicable legal standard is satisfied; the provided judgment does not explain why the standard was satisfied here.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied fee-free status for purposes of an appeal. The case was closed.
