Disposition
The court granted Defendants’ motions for summary judgment and entered judgment in favor of Defendants. Summary judgment is a decision resolving claims without a trial when the governing standard is satisfied. The judgment states that the reasons for this ruling appear in the court’s Memorandum Opinion and Order dated February 2, 2022. That memorandum is not included in the provided text, so the judgment does not reveal the claims, evidence, or legal reasoning underlying the decision.
Appeal-related ruling
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 in forma pauperis status—that is, permission to appeal without paying the required court fees—for purposes of an appeal.
Case status
Judgment was entered for Defendants, and the case was closed. The named plaintiffs are Angel Hernandez and Ana Garcia. The named defendants are the City of New York, Manuel Siles, P.O. Shield #844, Omar Habib, P.O. Shield #844, and Diego Beekman Mutual Housing.
