Date
Feb. 9, 2021

Disposition

The judgment states that, for the reasons in a separate opinion and order dated February 9, 2021, the court granted the motion to dismiss filed by the City of New York, Captain Avin, and Deputy Warden Mitchell. It separately states that the claims against Physician’s Assistant Charles Appiah were dismissed by the court on its own initiative. The text provided does not include the separate opinion and order, so it does not reveal the claims, the parties’ arguments, or the court’s reasoning.

Appeal and Case Status

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 fee-free status for purposes of an appeal. The judgment states that the case was closed.

Judge

The provided judgment does not identify the presiding judge. It was dated in New York, New York, on February 9, 2021, and signed on behalf of the clerk’s office by Deputy Clerk Ruby J. Krajick.
