In Galvez v. Westchester County, Judge Briccetti entered judgment for defendants after Galvez failed to amend, and denied appeal-fee waiver status.
Kenlee Galvez’s claims were dismissed, judgment was entered for Westchester County and the other named defendants, and Galvez was denied permission to appeal without paying court fees.
What happened
In Galvez v. Westchester County, the court said it had already dismissed all of Kenlee Galvez’s claims and gave Galvez an opportunity to file an amended complaint or request more time.
Galvez did neither by the stated deadline. The court therefore entered judgment for Westchester County and the other defendants, and closed the case.
Judge Briccetti’s ruling also certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Galvez permission to appeal without paying court fees.
