Background

The provided document is a judgment in Paul Harden's case against Lorie Badger and Sergeant Sahad. It refers to the court's Opinion and Order dated December 7, 2020, but that opinion is not included here.

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 filing fees. The judgment states that the case was closed.
