Background
The judgment concerns Thomas Bryant’s claims against defendants identified in the caption as Michael Capra, Superintendent, and Ms. Hickson. The supplied case name is Bryant v. Miller, but the judgment’s caption does not identify Miller as a defendant.
The judgment states that the court had already adjudicated Bryant’s claims once before and that Bryant had not corrected the problems identified in the court’s January opinion. The judgment itself does not describe those alleged problems or the underlying claims. It refers to the court’s Opinion and Order dated February 1, 2021, for the reasons supporting the ruling.
Ruling
The court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss. It dismissed Bryant’s claims with prejudice and stated that the case was closed. Because the judgment resolves the matter through a motion to dismiss and the provided text does not show that the court reached the underlying merits, this is a procedural order.
Effect
The judgment ended this case and barred Bryant from bringing these claims again in this case. The judgment does not state any additional relief or impose any additional obligation on the defendants.
