What the judgment says
The judgment concerns plaintiff Keith Todd and defendants Leroy Fields, Adam W. Silverman, Anne Marie McGrath, Tina Stanford, and Anthony J. Annucci. It states that Todd was representing himself.
The judgment says the defendants moved to dismiss Todd’s complaint. For the reasons stated in the court’s Opinion and Order dated February 25, 2022, the court granted that motion and dismissed the complaint in its entirety without leave to replead. The supplied text does not include the February 25 Opinion and Order, so it does not reveal the claims, arguments, or reasoning behind the dismissal.
Appeal and case status
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied Todd permission to proceed without paying filing fees for purposes of an appeal. The judgment states that the case is closed.
Classification
This is a procedural order because the court granted a motion to dismiss and the provided judgment does not show that the court decided the underlying legal claims on their merits.
