What the judgment says
The judgment names Gregory Douglas as the plaintiff and the City of New York and C.O. Carol Garcia, Shield No. 17515, as the defendants. It refers to the court’s separate Opinion and Order dated February 1, 2022, but that opinion is not included in the supplied text.
Ruling
The defendants’ motion for summary judgment was granted in full. Summary judgment is a decision resolving the case without a trial when the governing standard is met. The judgment does not state the claims, facts, or reasons discussed in the February 1 Opinion and Order.
The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied fee-free status for purposes of an appeal and stated that the case was closed.
Disposition
The defendants’ motion for summary judgment: granted in full.
Appeal-related fee-free status: denied.
Case: closed.
